  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.

  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool before serving.

Dust with powdered sugar or top with a light frosting or cherry compote for a beautiful presentation.
