This is a must-make old-fashioned treat. A super spongy and delicious hot milk cake. Full written recipe: veenapatwardhan.com/pat-a-cake/2023/01/27/howtomakeasuperspongyhotmilkcake/
You're most welcome, Filomena. Thank you for the appreciation. Also, you could easily make this cake directly on your gas stove. Just check out this video for my eggless orange cake to see how you could do that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cdiZBd22yLs.html Keep the gas on low throughout.
Maria, I would suggest replacing just around 1/3 of the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour. If made entirely with whole wheat flour, the cake won't be as light and fluffy.
Thanks for appreciating my work, Sulbha. For an eggless hot milk cake, you would need a little more milk and some yogurt for replacing the eggs. But since I have never made an eggless hot milk cake, I can't tell you the exact proportions for the different ingredients. But here's a link to an eggless version that I found online. It seems good: polkapuffs.in/2019/02/21/egg-free-hot-milk-cake-make-hot-milk-cake/
You could, Larry. But full cream milk would add a richer taste. Or perhaps you could add your regular milk and 2 tsp of butter extra. (The extra butter would be a substitute for milk cream in this recipe.)
@@mehjabeenjable3632 That would be only slightly big. But I suggest you increase the proportion of each of the ingredients by 25 per cent so the cake itself will be 1 and a 1/4 times the original cake, and bake it in the 24cms pan.
This recipe is not exactly suitable for steaming, Lavina. But you could bake it on a stovetop. Put a small stand inside a large thick walled vessel, place the baking pan on the stand inside, and then cover the vessel. Bake the cake on low heat. Check it after around 40 minutes.
NO! Absolutely not. Mustard oil is more suited for pickles and general cooking. Not for cakes. Use any other refined oil like sunflower oil, soya bean oil, rice bran oil, or refined ground nut oil.
I have been baking for 45 yrs now. I find that my cakes with eggs turn out very good. The eggless ones, (using curd or milk plus vinegar),though soft and moist, are 'pasty'. Where am I going wrong?
Jyotsna, in the cakes with eggs, the eggs too act as leavening agents and help make the cake soft. For eggless cakes, you have to whip the batter well to aerate it and thus make the cakes soft. Hope this helps.
OK, Mehjabeen, here are the exact measurements: 1 and 1/2 cup maida (200g) 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder 4 eggs 1 cup + 2 tbsp sugar (240g) (Measure this first and then grind it coarsely) 1 and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 5 tbsp oil (70g) 3/4 cup milk 4 and 1/2 tbsp butter (60g) Bake at 180C for 35 to 40 minutes. (Or till a skewer comes out clean.)
No, Jyotsna. Not in this cake. You'll see that this cake even has a different proportion of fat. This is not like your regular Victoria sponge or pound cake.
