  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Be sure to grease and flour the baking pan before pouring in the batter, or use parchment paper for easy release.
  • Bake the cake in a 350°F oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
