Baking the Cake
Preparing the Baking Pan
Take a baking pan measuring 20x20 cm (or 8x8 inches) and prepare it for baking—either by greasing or lining it.
Baking Process
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and place it in a preheated oven set to 170°C (338°F). Bake for about 30-35 minutes. The smell of freshly baked coffee cake will fill your kitchen, signaling that it’s almost done.
