   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Sift the dry ingredients to ensure even mixing.

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into a greased 20cm x 20cm loaf tin.

   Tip: Smooth the top for an even bake.

8. 8

   Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
