Avoid overmixing.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Bake the Cake<\/h3>\n<p>Pour the batter into a greased or lined baking pan and spread it evenly.<\/p>\n<p>Bake in a preheated oven at <strong>160\u2013170\u00b0C (320\u2013340\u00b0F)<\/strong> for <strong>45\u201360 minutes<\/strong>, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n<h2>Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n<p>Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing.
