Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick spray.

3. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl; flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
4. Combine the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients.
5. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
