  • Step 2 - mix: add the castor sugar and eggs to the melted butter mix. Beat with an electric beater until well combined. Gently fold in the flour.
  • Step 3 - bake: pour the batter into the lined baking dish and bake for 20-30 minutes.
  • Serve warm with ice cream and chocolate sauce or cream and fresh berries. Alternatively allow to cool and dust with icing sugar before serving.
