Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place all ingredients for the cake in a bowl and stir until incorporated. Pour into a 10 x 20 cm greased loaf tin and bake for 50 minutes, or until firm.

To make the sauce, place the water, sugar and citrus juices in a saucepan over a medium heat. Simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar, until reduced, about 8 minutes. Stir in the gin.

Spoon the syrup over the cake and allow to cool before serving.
