batter was runny

Victoria Wease

the batter was runny was it supposed to be??

alenatrs

No, you can see the batter consistency on the picture, it should not be runny, it's difficult to say what went wrong without details. - Alena

good

Guest

yum in my tum

Awesome!!!

Guest

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

I'm glad you liked the flavor and texture of the cake! Thank you for leaving your feedback! - Alena

How

Guest

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

alenatrs

I'm sorry, I cannot help with that :) different ovens have different controls ) - Alena

????

Guest

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

Sometimes baking time may vary depending on your oven... - Alena

Use in a mold!

Guest

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!!

Great idea! Thanks for sharing with us! - Alena

Guest

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

alenatrs

Adding butter sounds yum... :) - Alena

So Easy!!

Guest

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!

These are some great ideas to bring this cake to a next level :) Thanks for sharing! - Alena

Easy Milk Cake

Guest

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

Guest

Yum

Yum!

Guest

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!

Perfect for a quick dessert!

Guest

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!!

alenatrs

You are welcome! I’m glad that you loved how it tasted! - Alena

I made this cake with my kids last night and they didn’t almost everything and it turned out amazing. Not overly sweet, which I love. Thank you for sharing. I’ll keep this one for future cake baking celebrations.

Guest

could i use brown sugar instead f white?

alenatrs

I haven't tried this with brown sugar, I think it should be fine but expect it to be brown color, not like the picture. Happy baking! - Alena

Guest

Will it be good if I poured milk on it?

alenatrs

If you pour milk on top of the cake it may become too soggy. - Alena

Best milk cake ever

Guest

I really wanted milk cake and I found this recipe I absolutely love this!

alenatrs

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you loved this simple milk cake so much! - Alena

Nice recipe

Guest

Watching British Baking show while making this—turned out really well. The texture is so different, it’s like marshmallow-y and soft. I think it’s be really good stacked with like a blackberry and custard filling. Just to balance its sweet taste.

alenatrs

That sounds awesome! I'm glad you liked this milk cake, thank you for taking time to leave a comment! - Alena
