Quick and Easy Hot Milk Cake Recipe

[@britneyfreek]

i love the little „scientific details“ that you give. really helps newbies to understand the how and why.

[@ladikmk]

One of my favourite cake recipes. I've been making this cake for probably the last 40 years - it's perfect, quick to make, not overly sweet, delicious with a hot cup of coffee or tea, and a wonderful hostess gift too. Make it because you won't be disappointed.

[@liliabenavides4052]

We grew up very poor. My mother would make this very cake for us. Watching this gave me fond memories. Will try to make.

[@clairedevera2210]

I am happy that youbhave fond memories of your mum this way

Can you call that poor dear we hv only had cakes now that we r working

[@eileenbrooks-laitinen9778]

My mother made a very similar cake which she called Hot Milk Sponge Cake. It was used for strawberry short cake. Love your channel.

[@phil2u48]

I made 1/2 recipe in a small square pan for a couple of tea time guests. It was a huge success. It's a perfect cake for tea, though a bit sweet. I will reduce sugar a bit next time.

[@iloveyourcat.it.is.minenow]

Hi, when I was a teenager, my friend's mom taught me to use always one cup of sugar less than the number of cups of flour. This proportion has been working well for me since then. In this recipe, he says 2 of flour and 2 of sugar. This is indeed a little too much. I hope it helps.

[@anithap7151]

@@iloveyourcat.it.is.minenow So, for 10 cups of flour, 9 cups of sugar???????????????

[@deannadriskell9140]

This was a recipe my grandma used all the time in the spring for strawberry shortcake! It is so good when the sweet juice soaks into it when you layer it up with strawberries and whipped cream.

[@htershane]

I’ve been making this cake for years and just found out this is what it is called😂 I just make it as a go-to for myself. It’s very adaptable too, I’ll add lemon/lime/orange zest to the mix and make an icing with the juice and icing/confectionary sugar or a touch of sweet spice in the batter just to give it a hint of something else works very well.

[@Abcdefbdawg22]

an extreme newbie here, how much would you add to the mix? any help would be appreciated

[@htershane]

@ trial and error basically. If I’m using orange I use the zest of one big orange, lemons or limes I use 2. Either mix it in with the dry ingredients or stir in the heated milk to let the flavour infuse a bit (it might curdle the milk but it’s totally fine when mixing with the other ingredients). You’re not going to get a totally flavoured cake but it’ll have a hint of it. If you use the juice to make an icing it’ll taste a lot more of whatever fruit you’ve used. Same with spiced I’m in the uk and the store I go does a mixed ground spice (I think it’s a mix of cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg…not a 100% on that) I just sprinkled a bit in with the milk, maybe a pinch at a time, and dipped my finger in to taste test til I got a flavour I thought would work.

[@KimberlyBruton]

This recipie is so simple I had to bake my own Hot Milk Cake today and it was fantastic. It has a rich tasty flavor without being too sweet. I think this cake is one of the best Iv'e had.

[@picklerick1080]

I LOVE sponges and this was heavenly! You can also spread some jam (preferably a tart one, not overly sweet) and it makes it even better. Thank you so much for this!

[@zxtk8085]

Can't believe how well this came out. I made a pan cake, and then I had a bunch of leftovers, so I put them in muffin pans, and they came out amazing and delicious.

[@lizmorris78]

This is my go to cake. I pour a batch of homemade fudge over it as icing. Not microwave fudge but old fashion boil on the stove fudge. Old hershey cocoa recipe.

[@wanderervii]

Yummy.❤

[@katk3868]

I love this cake! I pour homemade sweetened condensed milk on top of it once it's cooled down a bit and it's always a hit lol. Great for when you have lots of milk that you need to use up soon.

[@LiveGaming0707]

How do you make homemade condensed milk

[@benbusfield6498]

Grama made this and put the sweetened condensed milk on it

[@FirstNameLastName-wt5to]

So similar to tres leches.

[@all4Dorian]

Thank you John for breaking down all your recipes to the detail!

[@evagru]

Love it. Like Bundt cake but softer. I had coffee cream that was little bit going bad (could not put it into coffee anymore) so I used that. Noone noticed. I am giving it 10/10.

[@gainamiklusko1932]

You are my favorite Baker John. I have made everything you have baked. Thank you so much.

[@deborahhayes2018]

I'll tell you this, I've made so many of his recipes for the first time and they always come out great! Making cakes for a pop-up and wanted a Rum Cake. It came out perfect ❤ my family absolutely loved it. And it's crazy, when you try something for the first time and no time to change, it's a Win 💖for each one I've tried ❤😊😋❤

[@bee3027]

Just what I like, another simple recipe and amazing tasting. I love the recipes from John because they are normal and most you do not need a ton of ingredients to make the dish.

[@kinbolluck476]

[@liori3770]

There’s one thing I don’t trust John with - either his food is not tasty, or that this guy has nerves of steel - how is it possible he stays so fit with all that amazing food around, all the time? 😂

[@Abcdefbdawg22]

first time baking without a box, and these turned out great. It was a nice to gain a bit of confidence with this recipe. going to B&N to get the book. thank you for this :)

[@bevwest7428]

When I was a kid, we would put something on the top( I think after it baked) the something was added to coconut. We put it under the broiler for a few minutes. Yum!

[@TW1257]

Broiled coconut frosting.

[@ReginaRibaudo]

Yum, I love a simple yellow cake with powdered sugar. ❤

[@wanderervii]

Pre heat the oven to 350 *Fahrenheit.* Dry ingredients: 2 cups of all purpose flour 2 tsps baking powder 1/2 tsp salt Mix it up. Wet ingredients: 1 cup of milk 1/2 a cup of butter Heat until it is bubbly and the butter is melted. 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 large eggs Mix this until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Slowly add the milk and butter while stirring. Add 1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Grease a 9/13 inch pan, and add the batter. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes. Jesus loves you and died for your sins. May God bless you and your family.

[@patcoxen6857]

I make this cake and then add a butter/brown sugar/coconut/ milk topping after it comes out of the oven. We call it Lazy Daisy Cake. Yum

[@suepetzer5996]

Can I pick brains as to the why's and wherefores... my mother made this so successfully. She made a meringue with the whites and sugar first, and then added the egg yolks. folded in double sifted flour and baking powder and then the hot milk mix. Is this old school process? She served it with homemade apricot jam in the centre and freshly whipped cream and fruit to decorate. Chocolate cake was the same recipe also filled with apricot jam and topped with stroh rum chocolate buttercream. I do miss her dearly

Your beater comment was so accurate! My one I've had for years crapped out on me, so I bought a new one of the same brand on Amazon. The first time I used it, I figured there was something wrong with it because the low speed was the same as my previous one's high speed. Sent it back and got a different brand. Same issue. I hate. Give me low speed back!
