Place everything inside a circular mold of 24 - 26 cm in diameter that you have first buttered and floured or lined with baking paper. Level everything with a spoon.
Bake at 180° C for about 30 minutes. Check the cooking with a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake and extracting it, it must be dry.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Remove the cake from the mold and place it on a cake plate, dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve.
