Collect all the necessary components required for this recipe.\nPreheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).

Add eggs one by one, making sure to mix thoroughly after each addition.
6
Gradually add the flour mixture and milk to the bowl, alternating between them while mixing just enough.
