Make it step by step

  1. Beat egg and sugar till light and creamy.

  3. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder and baking soda, and give a quick whisk.
  4. Pour flour into the wet ingredients until no traces of flour remain. (I used hand whisk to fold the flour) Do not over-mix. Stop the moment everything is incorporated.
