1
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).

Beat the mixture well after each addition of dry ingredients until smooth and no lumps remain.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
