Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

💡 Chef's Tip
Use espresso or double-strength coffee for a bolder flavor. Cake keeps up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature. Quick glaze: whisk 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons strong coffee.
