- Fill a 9x13-inch roasting pan or casserole halfway with water and place it on the center shelf of the oven.
- Lightly grease the sides and bottom of a 9x5-inch loaf pan, and dust with 1 teaspoon of flour; and cut out a square of waxed paper to fit the bottom of the pan; place paper in the bottom of pan and set aside.

Tips:

- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. This will help them incorporate more easily into the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cake from cracking.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
