Hot Milk Sponge Cake | Easy Sponge Cake Recipe | Hot Milk Cake

    Hot Milk Cake is a rich, delicious, fluffy, buttery, vanilla-scented cake best suitable for beginners! It's one of those easiest sponge cakes you can make for any occasion.

     Hot Milk cake is a classic, old-fashioned recipe. Milk makes this cake a moist and delicious treat.

    Whisking the eggs and the sugar incorporates more air in the batter, makes the cake so soft and fluffy. This spongy cake will spring back when gently pressed.

     I recommend using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer. You want the mixture to be very light, airy and tripled in volume. When you lift the beater over the mixture, it should fall back like a ribbon.

The tiny bubbles and spongy texture of this cake make it ideal for layer cakes! You can simply top the cake with a dusting of powdered sugar and chopped fresh fruits.
