- Lastly fold in the sunflower oil. Ensure that you have folded in the ingredients properly especially the batter at the bottom of the bowl.
- Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes until the cake slightly shrinks away from the tin.
- Let the cake stand for a minute or two before turning it out onto a wire rack. Leave to cool completely.
To serve:
- Dust the cake with icing sugar and slice.
- Dollop a scoop of Greek Yoghurt over the cake and drizzle with honey.
- Sprinkle the pistachios over and serve
