## How to Make Ust a Super Simple Cake/Cookie
## Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup milk
– Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or nuts
## Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F, roughly about 175°C. Lightly grease your choice of baking equipment; if it’s cookies, you’ll need a baking sheet, but if it’s a cake, prep an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together your dry ingredients first. This includes the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a different bowl, focus on the wet ingredients. Whisk the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and milk together until it’s silky.
4. Gradually, add your dry mix into the wet mix, stirring until the two are just combined. If you’re adding the optional ingredient, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
5. For cookies, spoon balls of dough onto the prepped baking sheet. For cake, pour your batter into the greased cake pan, spreading it evenly.
6. Set your oven timer. For cookies, bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden. For cake, bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let it cool a bit before serving up your delightful treat(s).
## How to Serve Ust a Super Simple Cake/Cookie

Store these homemade cake or cookies in an airtight container. If kept in a cool, dry place, they’ll retain their freshness for up to two days at room temperature or about a week if stored in the refrigerator.
## Tips to Make Ust a Super Simple Cake/Cookie
Ensure your baking powder and soda are fresh to allow for proper raising. Also, do not overmix your batter as it can lead to a dense cake or hard cookies. Lastly, keep a close eye while baking, as every oven heats differently.
## Variation
If you’re not a fan of all-purpose flour, replace it with almond flour or whole wheat flour. For a vegan alternative, remove the egg and replace milk with a plant-based alternative.
## FAQs
