Step 4: Bake

Pour the mixture into an 8-inch cake pan that has been greased and floured. Bake at 350°F for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes back clean. (If the cake starts to brown too much before it's cooked through, cover it with aluminum foil.) Allow it to cool completely before attempting to remove it from the pan.
