Begin by gathering all necessary ingredients and tools. Ensure you have everything measured and ready to go to streamline the cooking process.
Preheat your oven to the specified temperature. This will ensure that your dish cooks evenly once it’s placed inside.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution and remove any lumps.
In a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients until well blended. This ensures that flavors are combined before adding to the dry mixture.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the desired texture.
Grease your baking dish if necessary, and pour the batter evenly into it. Smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Set a timer for the recommended baking time and monitor the progress through the oven window.
Use a toothpick to check if the dish is done. Insert it into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it’s ready.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for a few minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into portions and serve. Enjoy your creation with your choice of toppings or sides.
Baking times can vary based on your oven and the altitude of your location. Always keep an eye on your dish as it bakes.
Feel free to substitute ingredients based on your dietary preferences or what you have on hand. Just be cautious of the proportions and moisture content.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy within a few days for the best taste and texture.
