Dry ginger ale – 250ml

Brown sugar – 1 cup

Eggs – 3 nos

Flour – 2 cups (1 cup each of self raising and plain)

Stir in eggs and then stir in sifted flour. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake in a 170 degree Celsius preheated oven for 1.5 hours or until cooked when tested with skewer. Palace a piece of baking paper over the top of the hot cake, leave cake  in pan and wrap completely in a clean tea towel. Set aside to cool.
