We will have a rectangular cake, we will bake the cake in a wide baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper first. During baking, our dough will rise, so we form sides from paper. For safety, we cover the paper with vegetable oil. Transfer all the dough to a baking sheet, evenly distribute it with a silicone spatula.
