hot milk cake

Scalded milk sponge

Hot milk cake is a simple American cake made by heating milk and butter together before incorporating them into the batter.

The warm liquid creates a tender, moist crumb with a fine texture.

The technique dates to home baking traditions when cooks worked with basic pantry ingredients: Grandma's hot milk cake was always on the dessert table at reunions.
