Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the cake is golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
