Gently add the pre-sifted flour and baking powder.
Mix with the spatula from bottom to top.
Butter and flour a 9.5-inch pan and pour the mixture into it.

Advice
Always preheat the oven to 356°F whether static or fan-assisted.
For baking, if using a static oven, always stay at 356°F. If using a fan-assisted oven, lower the temperature to 338°F and reduce the baking time by 10 minutes.
Never open the oven before 25 minutes of baking to avoid deflating the cake.
For all baking, considering that your oven’s heat might vary, always do the toothpick test before taking it out of the oven.
The toothpick test involves inserting a toothpick into the batter. After removing it, if it comes out dry, then the cake is ready.
It keeps for 3/4 days, obviously stored under a cake dome.
