1. Mix the Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or pan.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, oil (or melted butter), egg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be light and pourable.

2. Bake Quickly
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

3. Prepare the Icing
While the cake is baking, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the milk slightly to reach a pourable but thick consistency.

4. Ice the Cake
As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, pour the icing evenly over the hot cake. It will melt slightly and soak into the surface, creating a soft, glossy finish.

5. Serve and Enjoy
Let the cake rest for just a few minutes, then slice and serve warm. It’s best enjoyed fresh—when it’s soft, fragrant, and perfectly iced.
