   Gently scrape the batter evenly into the prepared pan
   and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top of the
   cake is golden and a cake tester inserted into the
   center comes out clean. Transfer pan to a cooling rack
   for 10 minutes; then invert the cake on the rack and
   let cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners
   sugar, cut into 6 pieces and serve with topping.
