Step-by-Step Instructions
To start this tasty cake, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease my 9×13-inch baking pan. Then, in a large mixing bowl, I combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, whisking everything together until it’s well blended. The scent of the spices is heavenly, and I can already feel the anticipation building. Once that’s done, I create a well in the center and add the vegetable oil and eggs, mixing well to combine. It starts to come together beautifully. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
