Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preparation
Begin by gathering all the necessary tools and equipment. Ensure that your workspace is clean and organized to facilitate a smooth cooking process.
Step 2: Mixing Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients first. Make sure to sift the flour to remove any lumps. Gradually add the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the final product remains light and fluffy.
Step 3: Preheating the Oven
Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature. Make sure it reaches the desired heat before placing your dish inside for optimal cooking results.
Step 4: Baking
Pour the batter into a greased baking pan, spreading it evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and set a timer for the suggested baking time. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
Step 5: Cooling
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes in the pan. After that, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
