tried this twice because it sounds like a convenient way to make cake. never making it this way again! the first time around it smelled and tasted very strongly of baking soda.

the next time i tried it with self raising flour instead of plain and it's become really chewy. feels like too much hassle just to avoid eggs and butter. sorry for the bad review.

All ovens are different in my grandmothers at 350 it only takes 30 min however in mine it takes 45. Thats the reason for the 15min gap on baking time.
