Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown 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 it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
