Wet Ingredients

Method
 

Prepare the Cake Batter
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Fold in the dry ingredients gently. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch pan.
Bake to Perfection
  1. Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
