Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Step 3: Bake the Cake

- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
- Slice the cake into squares or wedges and serve as-is, or garnish with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance.
