Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

Baking
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake.
Serving
- Carefully invert the cake onto a serving platter. Let it rest for a few minutes before lifting the pan off.
Storage
- Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
