Process

Bake for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, make sure it's cooked all the way through by inserting a toothpick or fork into the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, it's done. If not, continue baking for 5 minute increments until toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

This recipe is not very sweet, so if you're looking for something a little more indulgent, I recommend adding 2-3 tablespoons of honey to the ingredients.
