template inheritance

Remove everything from "index.html" except for the extends and block tags and their contents. iBummer! your "index.html" sems to have extra content.........WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

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

I believe you need to remove the h1 and p from the content block in layout because index.html is going to provide the content there.
