So Easy!!

I’ve been baking this cake for years...I’ve made it with almond flavoring, lemon flavoring, I’ve used cocoa powder and made it chocolate...always comes out delicious! The only way it could be easier is if you could buy it readymade in the grocery store!

My First time baking a cake from scratch, it came out delicious 🤤

Yum!

Guest November 19, 2020 2:20 PM

So great! Here’s what I did a bit different... no cinnamon and sugar topping, but 1T of ground cardamom added to the dry ingredients plus 10 drops of orange oil to the milk/butter. Baked in a Bundt pan... delicious paired with some herbal tea! Thanks for the basic recipe...I will keep playing with additions based on what mood I’m in! Very moist!

I tried this out and my family loved it. It was quick and really delicious. Thanks a lot.

Perfect for a quick dessert!

Made chocolate pudding and wanted something simple to go with it, but no cookies in the house. Mixed this cake up in about the time it took the oven to heat to 350. It baked while we ate dinner (baked about 40 minutes). Deliciously simple and the perfect accompaniment to chocolate pudding with a dollop of sour cream on top. Wonderful texture! Thank you for sharing!!

Amazing

Guest January 23, 2022 2:20 PM

This turned out perfectly! I used margarine instead of butter though and wow! So soft and fluffy and that smell! delicious!

alenatrs January 24, 2022 10:20 PM

Awesome! Thank you for sharing your feedback! - Alena

batter was runny

Victoria Wease December 28, 2021 4:53 PM

the batter was runny was it supposed to be??

alenatrs January 1, 2022 9:34 PM

The batter should not be thick, nor watery. If the mixture is too thin when you bake it, the cake will not rise properly. Make sure you measure the ingredients correctly. - Alena

good

Guest November 10, 2021 9:54 AM

yum in my tum

Awesome!!!

Guest November 5, 2021 5:55 PM

I just made this bcz I was looking to use up eggs and milk. My daughter doesn’t like milk, so I just told her it’s a vanilla cake. She loves it. I love the texture and the flavour. So happy I found this. I just used 1 1/3 sugar and only 5 tblspns butter. I wasn’t as meticulous with the mixing and blending and it still turned out great. Yay!!!

alenatrs November 6, 2021 9:52 PM

So happy ho hear you enjoyed this milk cake! Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review! - Alena

How

Guest October 10, 2021 1:01 PM

How do i turn on my oven. It was easy to make but idk how to turn it on

alenatrs October 11, 2021 12:53 PM

Sorry I can't advise on that. Try searching for instructions for your specific oven brand. - Alena

Guest August 26, 2021 3:18 PM

It took way longer to bake than the recipe said. It is in a 9 in. pan too. Maybe it should have gone into a larger pan to spread out more. I am still waiting for it to come out of the oven. I'm sure it will taste fine, but the baking time surprised me.

alenatrs August 26, 2021 4:08 PM

Sometimes baking time can vary depending on the oven... - Alena

Use in a mold!

Guest June 11, 2021 2:01 AM

These were super easy and delicious. You're right, I had all those ingredients on hand. I had used my cake mold for something else and decided to use a Halloween Skull mold (Amazon cakelet mold). They came out in a great size for each person and super delicious. Thank you!!

alenatrs June 11, 2021 9:18 AM

Such a good idea to make this as individual portions. Thank you for sharing your wonderful review! - Alena

I added a few very thin slices of butter on top and let it melt before serving. What a hit!
