Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 pinch of salt

• 1 egg

Optional Add-ins:

• 1/4 cup chocolate chips or nuts

• A dusting of powdered sugar for topping

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep:
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) or heat a nonstick skillet if cooking on the stovetop. Grease an 8-inch round or square pan.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   In a bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, oil (or butter), milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Add Dry Ingredients:
   Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.

4. Bake or Cook:

   • Oven Method: Pour batter into the pan and bake for 12–15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

   • Stovetop Method: Pour batter into a greased pan, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat for about 10–12 minutes, checking for doneness.

5. Cool & Serve:
   Let the cake cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with icing if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

• For a chocolate version, replace 2 tbsp of flour with cocoa powder.

• Use cupcake molds for 10-minute mini cakes!
