To bake the cake
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F and bake the cake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven and place a layer of kitchen foil over the top to stop the crumble topping browning too much. Return the cake to oven to cook for a further 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- When baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack to cool. Alternatively, you are transporting the cake, leave it to cool in the baking pan, before serving.
- When ready to serve, slice the cake and servce with cream, custard or ice cream.
