How to Make One Egg Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
