For the Frosting

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C fan/200C/400F/gas mark 6 and line an 8 inch baking tin.
- In a large bowl/bowl of a stand mixer, add all the cake ingredients and combine until smooth. If very stiff, add a little more milk. Pour into tin and bake 20-25 minutes, until golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let cool.
- Once cool, make the frosting. Add the butter to a large mixing bowl. Beat with a whisk on high for a minute to soften/combine everything.
