6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly on the bottom.
7. Optionally, sprinkle almond flakes on top of the cake.
8. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and the center comes out clean when pierced with a toothpick or skewer.
9. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for a few minutes, then remove it from the tin and place it on a wire rack to cool.
