🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square metal pan with parchment paper.
Whisk Dry Ingredients in a small bowl. In a larger bowl, cream Wet Ingredients until smooth and emulsified.
Fold Dry Ingredients into the Wet Ingredients until just combined, then spread into the prepared pan.
Bake for 22-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft to the touch; cool completely before slicing.
