Subtly impressive and made with just 3 ingredients. I’ve made it so many times, I can practically whip it up on autopilot now.

Step 7: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Tap the pan gently on the counter to release large air bubbles.

Bake for 25–30 minutes.

The center should still jiggle slightly when removed — it will continue setting as it cools.

For an ultra-silky texture, place the cake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water (water bath method). This ensures gentle, even baking.

Step 8: Cool Completely
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.

Then carefully run a knife around the edges and remove from the pan.

Allow it to cool fully at room temperature before slicing.

As it cools, it will slightly deflate. This is normal and gives it that signature rustic look.
