Just made this for a guest dinner, and it was so easy and simple, and came out perfectly! A great little cake for a small dessert.
Hot Milk Sponge Cake
2 eggs
1 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk, scalded
1 tsp. baking powder
4 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat eggs well. Add sugar gradually, beating until lemon colored. Add sifted dry ingredients. Add scalded milk with butter added. Stir lightly into batter. Add vanilla. Pour into 8 inch square pan*. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
*Note: I just made this in two 6-inch round pans, and it came out beautifully!
I filled the cake with lime curd, and frosted it the French Cream Frosting I've posted before, flavored with lime rind and juice.
