Hot Milk Cake Is The Best Way To Use Up That Gallon In The Fridge
By Arianna Endicott
If you're looking for a way to use your leftover milk before it expires, hot milk cake may be just the recipe you need. Its texture is similar to a slightly grainy sponge cake.
To prepare your batter, pour your milk into a saucepan over medium heat and stir it as it heats up. Scalding the milk can even add some extra airiness to the cake.
If you're short on time, you can microwave the milk in short intervals, stirring between rounds. Let the milk cool to about 110 degrees Fahrenheit before adding it to your batter.
The heated milk allows the eggs in the cake batter to start cooking before you place the pan in the oven, forming air pockets that can act as a leavening agent as it bakes.
Some recipes suggest adding butter to the milk when heating to add a little extra warmth. This cake is versatile, so you can use a round cake pan, Bundt pan, or sheet pan.
