and speaking of hot milk, this is my mother's old Hot Milk Cake recipe, which I love and do enjoy the special texture. Takes about 5 minutes to make.
Hot Milk Cake
To 2 beaten eggs, beat in 1 c. white sugar, 1 c. flour, & 1 t. baking powder. Salt
Heat but do not boil:
1/2 c. milk with 1 1/2 T. butter
Add 1/2 t. vanilla (I do at least 1 t.)
Fold this into the dry ingredients quickly. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. My note says to add salt.
Topping:
Mix together:
2 T. melted butter
4 T. cream
1/2 c. brown sugar
Bring to a boil and then add 1 c. coconut (long shred is best)
Spread over cake, thick around the edges. Broil.
MY NOTE: overbeating eggs makes a cake that is too light, not spongy.
