4. Let the cake cool in the tray for about 10 minutes run a sharp knife around the edges of the tray to release the cake before turning it out onto a rack to completely cool.
5. Note: You can sprinkle raisins that are lightly dusted with flour on your batter after you have poured it into your baking tray. - - Gently mix the flour into the egg mixture using light hands so as not to deflate the eggs too much.
