Chris Kimball - Stovetop Chocolate Cake - Milk Street

[Marg CDN]

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.

ah...so I'm trying to gues what might be in your Louis Vuitton, but have no clue?
Jimmy Hoffa's head? The missing Louvre jewelry? The WHI's (White House Idiot) shameful lack of morality?

Well, why was it on sale? ............... it had lost a tiny little ??????

I would never admit to the Louvre jewellery, silly.

Congratulations! You are indeed a restorative person. It would be such a shame to have tossed that in the garbage. What a beauty.

I was at an upscale leather bag/handbag sale one time. I saw a very handy (I was doing so much travel then) LVuitton carryon marked down to next to nothing because it had lost a tiny screw for the handle. I figured I could work something out cuz this was a HUGE score. Bought it, took it home, looked inside...............and guess what was in there.

I am at the stage of eliminating things, but if not, you all have taught me enough that I would be checking out those stores.

I’m guessing the tiny screw was inside!
