Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350F. Then, add the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder to a large mixing bowl and sift together. Set aside the bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the dough to a greased 9" springform pan and use a spatula or your hands to press the dough flat. Add to the oven and bake for 26-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.

  3. 3
