Hot Milk Cake
Hot Milk Cake is a moist, buttery, classic dessert cake, perfect for serving with whipped cream and fruit.
Equipment
- 9x13 baking pan
- Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
- mixing bowls
- saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with baking spray.
- Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, just until bubbling and butter is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar and eggs on medium-high until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour mixture and beat on low until just incorporated. With the mixer running on low, gradually pour in the hot milk mixture. Stir in vanilla extract. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Dust the cake with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
Notes
Start with preheating the oven and heating the milk. Stir the milk as it heats. Line the baking pan with parchment if you plan to remove the entire cake from the pan. Beat the egg mixture until fluffy. Cool the cake in the pan.
