Step 5: Prepare baking dish
Grease an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) dish and line with parchment.
💡 Tip: Lining makes it easier to lift the cake out cleanly.
Step 6: Pour and smooth
Spread batter evenly in the dish and smooth the top.
💡 Secret: Tap the dish gently to release air bubbles.
Step 8: Cool completely
Leave in the pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
💡 Secret: Cooling prevents crumbling when slicing.
Step 9: Slice
Cut into squares or slices once fully cooled.
💡 Tip: Use a sharp serrated knife for neat cuts.
Step 10: Serve creatively
Enjoy plain, or with cream cheese, honey drizzle, or melted dark chocolate.
💡 Secret: Store leftovers covered, flavours deepen by next day.
