¾ cup (95 g) whole wheat flour
½ cup (packed; 100 g) light brown sugar
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
3 Tbsp. white miso
Cake:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly, plus more for pan

Make sure it is evenly distributed over the batter before baking. - **Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean:** This is the best way to ensure that your cake is done. - **Let the cake cool completely before serving:** This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.
