Pour the batter into a greased cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in a preheated oven at 165 degrees Celsius until golden brown. Check with a toothpick for doneness.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Mistake 1: Overmixing the Batter
Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Gently fold the ingredients to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
Mistake 2: Incorrect Baking Temperature
Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature. An oven thermometer can be a handy tool for accuracy.
Mistake 3: Neglecting the Toothpick Test
Always perform the toothpick test before declaring your cake done. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
