  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
