Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.

  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
