Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and spread it out evenly in the pan.

Notes
This cake will puff up a good bit and deflate some once it’s pulled out of the oven. That’s normal! Don’t be tempted to pull this cake out of the oven too early. It’s going to look done by around 30 minutes, but I promise it needs to stay in there for a bit longer.The nutrition facts presented here are estimates only.
