Fill a small saucepan with a few inches of water, and bring to a gentle boil. Rest a metal bowl on top, making sure its bottom isn't touching the water, and add all the frosting ingredients.
Pour the mixture into your prepared cake tin, and bake for 30-40 mins, or until it's risen and firm to the touch, and a skewer comes out clean.
Once the cake is done, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
After a couple of hours of chilling, the frosting will have firmed up. Using a stand mixer or electric whisk, whip the frosting until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl regularly.
