CAKE DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Spread until the top of the loaf is even.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 60 to 70 minutes.
  • Check by inserting a toothpick in the centre that should come out clean, indicating that the crumb is fully set and no excess moisture remains.
