Next, take a baking tin, spread the parchment paper on the inner surface of the tin, grease it with butter and dust the surface with some flour. Once it is done, pour the mixture for the cake in the baking tin.
Tap the tin on the cooking area or the kitchen platform where you’re cooking, do it a gently and get rid of the air bubbles in the tin.
Finally, keep a preheated oven ready at 170 degrees and put the baking tin it for around 35-40 minutes to bake it nicely. To check if the cake is baked properly, just insert a skewer to the cake and pull it back, if it comes out clean, then it means your cake is ready.
