I had Engine faillure for 1 second during take-off

Hello,

My last flight encountered a strange problem, i was taking off doing a touch and go ( i was already flying for 30minutes or so) and while i was climbing at a height of around 300ft the engine stopped completely for about 1 second and then went on on full power.

It was in my Cessna 152 trainer... I immediatly putted the nose down to do an emergency landing, not only the engine stopped but my teacher at that moment didn't knew what to say, we finished the circuit and went for a full stop.

I had set the carb heather to cold while in short final, when i talked to the technician he said it wasn't bad, he said i probably had some icing.

It scared me to death, what do you think happend ? Carburator icing ?
