This simple, old-fashioned cake tastes so good it will surprise you! As I remember my mom's delicious meals, this dessert was always the perfect ending. Mom always used "a dash of this and dab of that" to come up with what we thought was "the best"! — Rosemary Pryor, Pasadena, Maryland

I loved it especially for a tight budget! It's light and yet really satisfied my sweet tooth. I also love how versatile it is...can go with anything and/or you can adapt it to anything.

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.

Moist & delicious Hot Milk Cake Recipe. I baked it in a Jelly Roll pan, & it turned out great.

So simple & so easy. My husband LOVED it & is very picky when it comes to white cake. Will have fresh fruit on the side next time. This pairs well with cream cheese frosting :)
