5. Add the flour mixture into the mixing bowl gently using a spoon. Fold the mixture gently with the spoon and gradually use the electric whisk to mix at a low speed. Add the milk to create a soft dropping consistency.
6. Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and smoothen the surface with the back of the spoon.
7. Bake for 35-40 mins until the cake has risen and become springy. Insert a clean knife in the centre and the knife should come out clean.
