Melt the butter, combine remaining ingredients and mix well, whisk in the melted butter.Baseline and grease a springform tin, pour the cake batter into the tin and bake on lower shelf in the oven at 175 degrees for 40 - 50 mins or until the cake is done (depends on oven and tin used)
Remove cake and cool, meanwhile prepare the frosting:

Forgot to say, if your tin is not leakproof its best to fully line it with greaseproof paper, then grease it before pouring in the batter.
