- Fold everything together until fully combined.
- Pour the cake batter into the lined cake tin.
- Put into the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
Notes
- Don't over-mix the batter as the cake will be dense.
- To check that the cake it cooked, put a toothpick or wooden skewer into it, and it should come out clean.
- Add a snowy effect with a dusting of icing sugar before serving.
- Little dots of pomegranate would add lots of colour and make it look even more festive.
- You could also make a layer cake by slicing it in half and adding frosting in-between the slices.
