  3. Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating.
  4. Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium-sized bowl.
  5. Add half the flour mixture to the creamed, mixing just enough to incorporate.

  8. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes at 350 F.
  10. Or until the buckle is lightly browned on top and feels just set in the center. It should spring back lightly when you touch the center.
