Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
