In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Add the batter to the sheet pan and bake for 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes, until the cake has a slight spring when you press a finger on its surface and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
