Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch (30 cm) baking pan.

In a large bowl, beat the egg with the sugar until pale and slightly creamy. Mix in the softened margarine until fully combined.

Gradually fold in the sifted flour and baking powder, alternating with the milk, stirring until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Insert a toothpick into the center — it should come out clean when ready.
