I'm getting the error "didn't find the correct contents and I'm really not sure why?

flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask
from flask import render_template

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')
templates/index.html 
{%extends "layout.html"%}

{%block title%}Homepage|{{super()}}{%endblock%}
{%block content%}
<h1>Smells Like Bakin'!</h1>
<p>Welcome to my bakery web site!</p>
{%endblock%}
templates/layout.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>{%block title%}Smells Like Bakin'{%endblock%}</head>
<body>
  {%block content%}{%endblock%}
</body>
</html>
