Hot Milk Cake Recipe

A simple, old-fashioned cake using ingredients easily found in the average kitchen.


Hot Milk Cake

2 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups milk
10 tablespoons butter or margarine

In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter just until butter melts, stirring occasionally. Add to batter, beating until combined. Pour into prepared baking pan.

We love this cake with fresh strawberries and home made ice cream! What did we ever do before we had all this milk?
