Old-Fashioned Hot Milk Cake
INGREDIENTS
-
4 large eggs
-
2 cups sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 1/4 cups 2% milk
-
10 tablespoons butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Before beginning, preheat the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
- Mix the flour and baking powder together in a medium-sized bowl. Put aside.
- The eggs should be pale, thick, and fluffy after three to five minutes of medium-high speed whisking in a stand mixer.
- Put the milk and butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat while the eggs are whipping. Heat until the butter is melted and small bubbles start to form on the edges. Avoid boiling.
- Once the eggs are thick, mix in the sugar and vanilla one little bit at a time.
- Stir the flour mixture into the egg and sugar mixture slowly.
- Set the mixer on medium-low and slowly pour the heated butter and milk into the batter. Blend until barely mixed.
- A toothpick put into the center of the cake should come out clean after 30–35 minutes of baking the cake batter in the baking pan.
- Give the cake ten to fifteen minutes to cool in the pan. After that, place it on a wire rack to cool completely.

FAQs AND QUESTIONSÂ
Tips for the Best Hot Milk CakeÂ
- Beat the eggs thoroughly. It may take three to five minutes for them to get thick and extremely pale yellow. For optimal results, use an electric mixer or a stand mixer.
- Don’t boil the milk; just scorch it. When bubbles form on the surface and around the edges of milk, it is considered scorched (180-185°F). It shouldn’t be at a roaring boil, like when water is in a kettle.
- Sort the dry components. By doing this, the distribution of the baking powder will be guaranteed. You’ll also get the smoothest cake batter from it.
- Use icing in inventive ways. Try caramel, chocolate frosting, whipped cream, or Cool Whip. Here, there are no incorrect responses!
Recipe Variations
- Add a tropical touch to it. Enjoy flavors of coconut? Replace 2 percent milk with coconut milk. Next, top with whipped coconut cream and toasted coconut.
- Turn a bit crazy. To give the cake batter a slight nutty flavor and texture, add chopped nuts to the mixture.
- Anyone up for some hot chocolate? To get the most chocolate flavor in this cake, stir in 1/4 cup of cocoa powder with the flour mixture.
- Give the chocolate a lot of love. Use chocolate milk and add chocolate chips shortly before baking if you want to push it over the edge.
