Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. If necessary, tent the pan with foil after 40 minutes of baking to prevent the top from browning too much.

Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack before slicing.
