Line a cake tin with baking paper and pour in the cake mix.

Bake at 180C for 50 to 60 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a cooling rack.

Combine the butter, icing sugar and add enough hot water a little at a time until the icing is smooth.

Spread over the cake once it is cool.
