Heat a heavy frying pan - a cast iron pan is ideal - that can go into the oven over medium-low heat. Swirl the oil around the pan.

Fill a 1/4-cup dry measuring cup with some of the mixture, packing it slightly. Turn out into the frying pan. You should have a nicely shaped cake that stands a bit more than an inch high.
