Stage 1 - 5 min.

Preheat oven to 180°C or 356°F.

Melt 60 g butter in a small pan on low heat, then set aside.

Add 12 g gingerbread spice mix.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Then 1 Egg and melted butter, not too hot.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Pour mixture into a cake mould, non-stick if possible.

Stage 9 - 40 min.

Cook for about 40 minutes.
