Directions
In a large bowl whisk together thoroughly:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

In a separate bowl blend together

Fold in until combined:

Combine the wet ingredients in the bowl with the dry ingredients until just incorporated – do not over mix. Scrape the batter into a pan and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.

Let cool in the pan on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes before unmolding to cool completely on the rack.
