There are times when you work and times when you say stuff it and go bake a cake!
This is a cake that is better when eaten a day after it has been cooked, not suitable for those with nut allergies. Top with any icing that you like, lemon, or cream cheese, orange, all go well. The secret ingredient? Peanut Oil.

3/4 cup peanut oil
2 eggs
1-2 cups wholemeal flour–add until consistency is correct for cake batter, will be firm
