Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all the necessary ingredients and ensure they are measured accurately.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

Set the oven to the required temperature as specified in the recipe. This preheating will ensure even cooking.

Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Use a whisk to make sure they are evenly mixed.

Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix all wet ingredients thoroughly until well blended.

Step 5: Combine Mixtures

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

Step 6: Prepare the Baking Dish

Grease or line your baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 7: Pour the Batter

Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8: Bake

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for the time specified in the recipe.

Step 9: Check for Doneness

Insert a toothpick into the center of the dish. If it comes out clean, the dish is done.

Step 10: Cool

Remove from the oven and let it cool in the dish for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11: Serve

Once cool, slice and serve as desired.
