About
This cake is called "crazy" for a reason -- the ingredients are mixed in the baking tin! Saves on the washing up. After baking, leave it in the tin, cover and chill overnight to allow the flavours to develop. This also makes the cake moister. It will need to be sliced in the tin. The picture shows the cake with a passion fruit glaze.

Fantastic idea - did you use a non-stick tin?

Unfortunately, no. Must try that the next time. However, it's easy to get the slices out of the baking pan -- they don't really stick -- with a flexible spatula so it's nice to just leave the cake in it since it keeps well in the refrigerator, and cut a piece every time you need a snack.
