  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the baking pan, smoothing it evenly across the surface.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
