  • Oven
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.

  4. Stir in sugar and eggs until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  5. Add baking powder and gently mix until just incorporated.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. If using cheese, sprinkle grated cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  9. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, firm slices.

Notes

Let the cake cool completely before slicing for best results and cleaner slices.
