Glorious. So simple and so good. A real discovery.... Moist, tasty, great consistency and it keeps great. I suspect the time invested beating the eggs paid off. Thanks a lot...and to those considering whether to bake it or not: do it, there is no going back

I did a demo in high school home ec on this cake (my recipe is very close to this) 46 years ago and I still make it. The ingred. are usually on hand, its fast, and wonderful with fruit. It is so adaptable, I have added plain blueberries to it, serve with fresh strawberries and whip cream instead of those dry round things, your family will never want to go back. I have also used pinapple cooked with small amount of sugar and cornstarch for a great topping, cooled it and then top with whip cream and sprinkle with coconut. my recipe makes a smaller cake and only uses 1 c. flour 1 t. baking powder, 1/4 t. salt 2T butter , 1/2 c. hot milk ( I use buttermilk) 2 eggs, 1 c. sugar and 1 t. vanilla directions same except for 9X9 pan 350 degrees for 25 min. Just the right size for a small quick dessert for fresh fruit.

Lost my Hot Milk Cake recipe years ago. Had been making it since I was 9 yrs old, now 68. Had come from my grandmother.

I will try this one. Hope it is the same. Sounds right. Thank you.

I have been looking for a recipe that fits the picture description of this cake for quite some time. Firm, fine crumb, spongy soft texture... and this recipe delivered!!! It is fantastic. Worked as a cake, worked as cupcakes. I have 150 pages of yellow cake recipes and this one immediately has jumped to page#1. I do have a question. Does anyone have baking times for baking 6", 8", and 9" round versions? My first attempt at a round (6") was still not done after 25 minutes, and unfortunately, I could not leave it baking any longer...Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks again for the GREAT recipe.

I just finished making this recipe and it's definitely going to become my go-to cake recipe. I cut the recipe in half and used a 9x9 glass dish and cut off like 10 minutes of baking time and I am so pleased with the results. A perfect, spongy cake. Very easy to make and not time consuming at all.

I used to make this as a teenager because it was so eash to make and always turned out well. My problem was that the batter was so good I would eat a lot of it before it ever hit the oven.

My husband had had this cake as a child and wanted me to find a recipe so I turned to TOH. He loved this when I made it and said it was even better than he recalled it! It was moist, light and airy - very, very good - with or without frosting!

Absolutley love the flavour of this cake. My first try turned out more like a pound cake probably because I may have overmixed when adding the hot milk mixture to the flour but as I like a heavier density cake, I am OK with that. I will definitely make again.

I've been making this cake for years, since I got the recipe from another poster on a cooking forum. I used it as my wedding cake.

It is not as light and fluffy as cake mix cakes, and does have somewhat the consistency of pound cake. I like that and it makes it sturdy enough for stacking and decorating multiple layers.

Be sure to beat the eggs the full 5 minutes called for or it will be extremely dense.

The cake tasted good, but it was not light and fluffy. It was heavey and had the texture of a pound cake. Can anyone tell me what may have caused this?

I was searching on line for a hot milk cake recipe a few days ago and came across this one! I was delighted with it! I decided to make it as a layer cake and put a seedless strawberry jam in the center, then after putting the top on I made a chocolate glaze to drizzle over it! We really did enjoy this! I also used whole milk instead of the 2%.

This was so good! I swirled a 1/2 pint of home made strawberry jam in before baking, but I think next time I'll make two layers and put the jam in between the layers. I didn't have quite enough butter and it still turned out great! very tender, light, crumb. I really like this recipe thank you!

Not very exciting. It reminded me of eating the sponge cake part of a twinkie without the fun of the cream filled center. Would make a good cake base for a fruit topping, but it doesn't stand up well alone.
