2. Add shortening and milk 🥛: Next, add the shortening and 2/3 cup of milk to the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until well combined and creamy.

3. Beat in the egg 🥚: Crack the egg into the mixture and add the remaining 1/3 cup of milk. Continue to beat the batter for another 2 minutes until everything is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.

4. Prepare the pan 🍽️: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square pan. Greasing the pan ensures that your cake won’t stick and will come out easily after baking.

5. Pour the batter 🥄: Pour the prepared batter into the greased pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Make sure the batter is distributed evenly to ensure even baking.

6. Bake to perfection 🌟: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top and spring back when lightly touched.

7. Cool and serve 🍰: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve slices of this delicious One Egg Cake on its own or top them with your favorite fruit or frosting for an extra special treat!

Tips:
