Add 4 eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.

Then, add 1 teaspoon of mixed spices to the mixture.

Gradually incorporate the sifted flour mixture into the wet ingredients.

Prepare a square cake tin by lining it with butter paper.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and spread it evenly.

Bake in a convection oven preheated to 170°C for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.

Once baked, allow the cake to cool before decorating with icing sugar.
