Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup self-rising flour
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • Frosting or dessert sauce optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 350° F (177° C). Lightly butter a 10-ounce ramekin and set it aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, egg white, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Stir in the self-rising flour.
  • Add the cream and stir until smooth.
  • Pour the cake batter into a greased 10-ounce ramekin and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
  • Cool the cake completely. To remove the cake from the ramekin, run a knife between the cake and the ramekin all the way around. Place a small saucer over the top of the cake and invert onto a plate.
  • Decorate as desired.
