Instructions: Set oven to 300/F or M.rk 2. Grease and line a 7 inch x 9 inch x 2 inch deep baking or roasting tin. Warm the milk slightly and dissolve the yeast in it. Rub the butter into the flour in a bowl and add the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix in the combined yeast and milk. The finished mixture should be soft in texture. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 30-45 minutes until the cake is set. Leave in the tin for 10-15 minutes and turn out on to a wire rack to cool. This cake is also called "Cut and come again cake".
