  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
