Hot Milk Sponge Cake is a perfect cake for making frosted cakes or for tea cakes. I have tried this cake many times and it is one of the fool proof recipes that I have tried.
Hot Milk Sponge Cake comes out so soft and spongy perfect for birthday cakes.As we are not fond of icing I left it plain.The cake slices comes out clean, I was in a hurry to click so sliced it even before the cake cooled completely.
Last week my uncle and aunt had come.I wanted to bake a cake for my brother and send it through them, opened the fridge only to know that there was no butter. I had no energy to walk all the way to go buy butter as gugu was about to wake up. So immediately I remembered this cake that I saw in Divyas space. I have already baked this cake many times before so that set up my confidence level high. And as expected it came out perfect.

Hot Milk Sponge Cake Ingredients
- Flour – I have used maida here but have tried with wheat flour and it works out great. Else you cna use 50% maida and 50% wheat flour if you are concerned.
- Eggs – I have used brown eggs, you can use white eggs too.
- Milk – Always boil the milk before using for any cooking. Use full fat milk for best results.
- Sugar – Use granulated white sugar which is the perfect choice for this recipe.
- Baking Powder – Baking powder is used here as a rising agent.

Notes
- This cake tastes great on its own but if you want you can frost it. Cut through the middle and apply frosting if you like.
- If you use a 4 inch round pan you will get a tall cake, you can slice it and apply any icing you want.
- The cake rises well so don’t fill more than 3/4th if baking in a single pan else it will overflow while baking.
- I used my 4X4 inch square pan. You can even use a loaf pan to bake this cake.
