Cake for One (or two)

Hey everyone! Ever want a little something sweet but not a whole two layer cake? I had a craving and thought I'd make myself a little cake, using a 5" ramekin and my counter top oven.
The ramekins can be found at Walmart and are made of porcelain, they bake things beautifully.
The cake's 5" round and about 2 1/2" high. 
5" Vanilla Cake for One (or two)
1/2 C A/P flour
1/4C + 2 Tblsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 Tblsp butter, softened
1/4 C milk
1/2 egg
1/4 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix all well, add to a greased and floured small baking dish. Use a 5" ramekin or 5" square dish.
Bake approximately 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and add frosting.

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
1 C powdered sugar
2 1/2 Tblsp butter, softened
1 Tblsp milk, start with less, add until desired consistency
1/8 tsp vanilla
Mix till combined, then turn to high and beat for about 5 minutes.
Have a happy day:@)
