Place the first 13 ingredients into a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients. (That's everything except the eggs and flour) Heat till the sugar is just melted and the ingredients are combined. Stir well and cool.
Using the same pot, mix in the eggs then the sifted flours and bi carb. Stir till combined
Pour into individual moulds (or 1 cake tin) . Leave a little room at the top as the cakes will rise.
