Step #1
Wright's cakes are made similarly with less of the mix i.e. 300g of the mix and 120ml of water + 40ml of oil. We have been experimenting using Mr. D’s Thermal Cooker, which can save up to 80% on cooking costs and it is ideal for those of you out and about this summer. With just 10 minutes spent in the morning Mr D's eco-friendly thermal cooker can produce a hot meal in the evening and it won't be burnt even if you are a little late! You will find that you use the cooker most days for your bread, cakes, soups, meals and puddings.
Step #2
Cut a parchment (baking paper) base lining for the bread tin within the Thermal cooker. Grease the tin, and the lid itself then place the cut out parchment into the base.
Step #3
Mix the cake into a batter and pour into the greased tin. Put on the lid and place the tin into the inner pot on a trivet. Pour in boiling water until the water comes about 3/4 of the way up the side of the tin.
Step #4
Put the inner pot on a heat source and bring back to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down so the water is gently simmering. Simmer for 35 -40 minutes with the inner pot lid on.
Step #5
Turn off the heat and place the inner pot into the insulated outer container. Shut the lid and leave to thermal cook without power for a minimum of six hours. It can be left overnight if easier.
Step #6
Once cooked remove the tin from the inner pot and carefully take off the lid. Leave for a few minutes then run a knife carefully around the edge of the cake and turn out onto a rack.
