Pour the batter into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Variations & Tips
For a twist, you can add a handful of chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor. If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, substitute the water for almond or oat milk to add a subtle flavor. For a citrusy kick, try adding a teaspoon of grated orange zest to the mix. This cake is also delightful with a simple dusting of powdered sugar on top.
