Ma'S One Egg Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. 2
   Grease and flour a 9 inch x 9 inch pan.
3. 3
   Sift dry ingredients together.

5. 5
   Add the 1/3 cup milk and egg; beat for 2 more minutes.
6. 6
   Pour into prepared pan.
7. 7
   Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until done. You might check a little earlier because my oven runs cool. If doubling or tripling the recipe, you'll have to increase the cooking time substantially.
