A dear friend I met while living in Florida shared this Hot Milk Sponge Cake recipe with me. She and I had the same birthday and she was like a surrogate grandparent to our children while living so far from family. Needless to say she is a very special person in my life and this is a delicious simple recipe. It’s one of those recipes you can easily make and your probably have all the ingredients on hand.
Hot Milk Sponge Cake
Ingredients:
1 Cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup milk
2 eggs
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Heat the milk and butter slowly until the butter melts. Beat eggs until thick and lemon colored, about 3 minutes on high speed if using an electric mixer. Gradually add the sugar to the egg mixture while continuing to beat for 4-6 minutes. Add sifted dry ingredients to egg mixture; stir just until blended. Stir in hot milk mixture and vanilla; blend well. Pour into a greased and floured 9×9 pan.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Cool in pan.
Excellent for shortcake with fruit, use with a sauce or very good plain!
If necessary you can also freeze this cake, although in our family there are never any leftovers!
