Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well incorporated.
Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy. Add in melted butter and mix until smooth.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6: Add Any Additional Ingredients
If using, fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits at this stage to enhance the flavor.
Step 7: Pour into Baking Dish
Carefully pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8: Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9: Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
