Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture in 3 batches, beating on medium speed between additions.
2. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the oven for about 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a rack.
