Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
