4. Pour into a baking sheet and smooth out the surface of the batter. Lightly rap the bottom of the baking sheet on the counter 2 - 3 times to release air bubbles. Bake in the oven for about 8 minutes.
5. When it's done baking, leave the parchment paper attached, wrap the surface with plastic wrap and let cool.
6. Remove the parchment paper and cut the cake into 12 cm strips. Then, cut the pieces diagonally into 3 cm wedges.
7. Lay a piece of plastic wrap in a bowl and lay the cake pieces from Step 6 into the bowl, leaving no space between the pieces.
