3. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking powder and salt before mixing into the wet ingredients.
4. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until a toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean, about 15-20 minutes for a muffin pan,to about 30-40 minutes for a cake pan.
