In a large bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together sugar and butter until soft. Add in egg, vanilla and milk until well combined. Gradually add in dry ingredients until mixture is smooth. Pour batter into baking dish and set aside.
