Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan.

- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan before slicing. Enjoy!
