Add the flour mixture alternately several times with milk/cream mixture, beginning and ending with dry mixture. Mix just until merges. Pour the batter carefully and gradually in the pan and flatten gently. Bake the cake for 30-40 minutes at 180 degree (360F), until golden color - and a toothpick stuck in center of cake comes out dry. If the cake is golden but not dry yet, cover with aluminum foil to bake until it is ready.
