Since everyone is gunning to be Martha Stewart and Gordon Ramsey these days, here are five three-ingredient recipes to help you play the part.
1. Milo cake
This steamed dessert was first shared by @norizaawanghamat on Instagram.
Ingredients:
- Two cups of Milo powder
- Four eggs
- Two tablespoons of condensed milk
Method:
- Blend or mix all of the ingredients thoroughly.

Feel free to add chocolate sprinkles or other toppings after the cake is done.
