Another Hot Milk Cake! [FOOD+THROWBACK]

Hot Milk Cake is probably our #1 go-to cake. We're not fluffy, crumbly, fine-crumb cake people. We like cakes that are most, hold together, and have real substance. This is a super simple sponge cake from our 70's version of Better Homes and Garden Cookbook that must be consumed with fresh #whippedcream and preferably fruit, like peaches or strawberries.

Check out these fun throwbacks of Nui Nui with Hot Milk Cake. Yesterday, we made one together :> Sigh, how far we've come. So fun to see how much she's grown and how much our tastes have remained the same :>br>

Hot Milk Sponge Cake + Fresh Whipped Cream + Strawberries! [RECIPE]

Recipe below pics!

This recipe is adapted from the version in the Better Homes and GardenS New Cookbook published in 1976. The cookbook is not so new but the recipe is timeless, and I intend to pass it down to my kid— she didn't seem to have any issues with it :>

Dry ingredients
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet ingredients

2. Sift together the dry ingredients
3. Heat the wet ingredients until butter is melted
4. Beat eggs until thick and lemon-colored, a few minutes on high on an electric mixer
5. Gradually add sugar, beating constantly on medium-high speed for about 4-5 minutes until thick and fluffy
6. Slowly add dry ingredients to egg mixture, stir until just blended
7. Stir in hot milk mixture and vanilla, mix until all dry ingredients are wet
8. Butter an 8" corning ware dish (other pans, materials, and sizes, including muffin tins, can be used but note bake-time will vary)
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, cool in pan
10. Meanwhile, put mixing bowl in freezer

Toddler's First Time Baking! - Hot Milk Cake! [VIDEO]

It took almost a week to figure out how to export this. I kept getting an error. This video is long, 24 minutes long, but it's worth it. Even if background noise and especially if you're interested in baking with your kid(s).

It's kind of hard to believe that less than three years ago, this girl was IN me and now she's baking WITH me. Hard to believe but thankful daily :>
