- Transfer the batter into a baking dish (if you didn’t mix it in a square pan) and bake in the middle rack of a preheated oven.
- The cake is ready when a toothpick poked into the center of the cake comes out clean: 18-20 minutes in a 9x13 pan or 30-40 minutes in a square pan.
- Cool for 30 minutes to serve as is OR sprinkle chocolate chips on the cake when it comes out of the oven OR cool completely and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Notes
If you are baking in a square pan, you could mix the cake batter in the baking pan or in a bowl and then bake for about 30 minutes. If you are baking in a rectangular 9x13 pan, mix the batter in a bowl and then transfer the batter to a 9x13 baking pan and bake for 18-20 minutes.
