1 1/4 cup soft brown sugar

3 Tbsps canola oil

3 Tbsps water

3 tsps baking powder

????Depending on your oven, the cake should be done between 2 hours and 2 1/2 hrs. If you add more liquids or fruits than I did, the consistency of your cake will be slightly different and you need to bake for much longer.

???? For a taller cake, use a smaller but taller cake tin

???? This cake is very moist, so there's no need to spritz it too much.
