Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round or square cake pan.

Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
