  • Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F static or 320°F fan for 35-40 minutes (do the toothpick test). At the end of baking, I always leave my cakes in the turned-off oven with the door slightly open for 5 minutes.

    Remove from the oven, let the cake cool slightly, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a rack.
