Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Baking Dish

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is essential to ensure the cake bakes evenly and quickly.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8×8-inch square baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. You can also line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake later.
