Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

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.
