5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the pan, smooth the top, and bake for 35–40 minutes.

Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
Make sure not to overmix your batter to keep the cake light and airy.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
