One of my friend asked me whether I have non-egg cake recipe due to she has allergic to egg.. Oh, I just realize that somebody could allergic with egg .... Must be a little bit tricky for ones who has allergic to some kind of food.. And I admire to those who can survive choosing what they can eat to keep them healthy as always..

2) Add corn oil and vinegar, continue to whisk.
3) Gradually mix in the milk, do not let the batter's too thin.
4) Pour into muffin tins and bake until cooked about 30 min.
