  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
Baking
  1. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients and sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  3. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glazing
  1. For the glaze, whisk together the icing sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
