• Grease an 8 x 8 (9 x 13 if doubling) baking pan with a little oil or cooking spray and lightly dust with some flour for easy extraction. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
• Bake at 350F for 25-35 minutes or until the edges begin to pull away form the sides of the pan and/or a cake tester in the center comes out clean. Let cool.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar if you like, it makes for nice presentation. The recipe card also suggests topping with sliced peaches, vanilla frozen yogurt, or applesauce with raisins.
