Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
