Hot Milk Cake


Over a year since I've posted. That says something about the monotony of my diet and the lack of opportunities, or ambition to cook. Here, however is a good one, a Hot Milk Cake.
Preheat 325 Prepare 12 cup tube pan

stir: 2 cups flour-2tsp baking powder-1 tsp salt
Heat 1 cup milk and 8 tbsp butter until butter is melted and mixture is very hot. Do not boil. Add 2 tsp vanilla

Beat 4 eggs and 2 cups sugar at medium-high speed until 3x volume, about 6 minutes. Reduce to medium and add milk/butter slowly, until incorporated. Add flour mix in two batches, beating after each just until incorporated. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes,
until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes, turn out onto rack and cool completely, min 1 hr. Serve with berries in syrup, or preserves, add whipped topping,
enjoy.
