Flask Template Inheritance Task 4

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong for task 4

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" %}

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

I'm having the same problem and I've tried every possible combination and nothing works. Possibly a bug so if anyone has an answer that would be great...

The word content in layout.html content block should be deleted. And do NOT remove any html if not asked.
