- Now you scoop about 2 and to 4 tablespoons of the mixture into your cake tin depending on size of tin and spread evenly across the bottom of the tin. Bake in oven for a few minutes until slightly browned, remove from oven, slightly cool layer, spread another 2 tablespoons of mixture over repeat process until you used up all mixture.
