Dessert Preparation

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the egg mixture into the flour mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this will affect the texture of the cake.

Bake the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
