Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
