Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Clear and clean your workspace to ensure a smooth cooking process. Gather all your tools and ingredients before starting.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to the required temperature, allowing it to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Stir well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients until fully blended.
Step 5: Integrate Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the final texture remains light.
Step 6: Prepare Baking Dish
Grease your baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 7: Pour the Batter
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 8: Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for the specified time. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Step 9: Cool Before Serving
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
Step 10: Slice and Serve
Once cooled, slice into portions and serve as desired.
