Ingredients:

• • Wet Ingredients:
    • • 1 Egg – The star of the show! Binds everything together for a perfect cake structure.
      • 150ml Milk – Adds moisture and richness.
      • 60ml Vegetable Oil – Keeps the cake moist and tender.
    • 1 tbsp of Vinegar – Activates the baking powder and adds a touch of tanginess.
    • 7g Vanilla Sugar (or substitute) – Provides a hint of sweetness and classic vanilla flavor. If you don’t have vanilla sugar, use 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2-3 tbsp regular sugar for a similar effect.

• Dry Ingredients:
  • • 150g White Wheat Flour – Adds structure and a slightly nutty flavor. All-purpose flour can be used as a substitute.
    • 8g Baking Powder – Leavens the cake, making it light and fluffy.
    • 60g of Sugar – Provides sweetness without being overpowering.
  • Pinch of Salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances other flavors.
• Fruit:
  • • 2 Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced) – Adds a delightful fruity sweetness and texture. Feel free to experiment with other fruits like berries, pears, or plums!

Instructions:

1. 1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking pan. A loaf pan or square baking dish would work well for this recipe.

1. 1. Whisk the Wet: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract and sugar substitute) until well combined.
   2. Dry Ingredients in Action: In a separate bowl, whisk together the white wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.
   3. Combine But Gently: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough cake.

1. 1. Apple Time: Gently fold in the sliced apples using a spatula. This incorporates the fruit without breaking it down.
   2. Batter Up: Pour the cake batter into your prepared baking pan.
   3. Bake It Happen! Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This indicates that the cake is fully cooked through.

1. Cool Down and Enjoy: Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the cake to set properly.
2. Time to Slice!: Once cool, slice and serve your one-egg cake. You can dust it with powdered sugar for a classic touch, or enjoy it plain.
