With hand-held electric mixer on low speed (or with a sturdy whisk), beat until ingredients are well-combined. Scrape bowl and beater(s) with rubber spatula (make sure bottom of bowl is scraped thoroughly). Beat batter again at low speed until well- mixed. Batter will be rather thin.

Pour into prepared pan. Spread level, then push slightly higher in corners and along edges of pan.

Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center emerges with only a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Do not overbake. to cooling rack. Cool in pan. Serve warm (not hot) or cool. Cool completely before covering tightly.
