Notes
Preheat oven before baking. I turn my oven on when I first get started so it has time to fully preheat
Lightly grease baking dish. I used a glass 11x7 casserole dish. You may use an 11x8 or a 9x13 dish, although baking time will decrease.
Test cake to see if it is done with a wooden toothpick. Insert toothpick into the center of the cake and remove. If the toothpick has wet batter, continue cooking. If the toothpick has a few moist crumbs, the cake is baked through.
Allow cake to fully cool before removing from baking dish
Store fully cooled cake in an airtight container or leave in baking dish and cover with plastic wrap.
