Hot milk cake

What a discovery!

Hot milk cake was a real surprise for me, I didn’t think adding boiling milk to a cake dough would work!

I confess, I was very very skeptical about the success of this recipe, but when I tried it for the first time I’ve immediately changed my mind.

It’s similar to sponge cake, but tastier ‘cause no needs a filling and releases an intense lemon scent.

Take a chance on it, it’s worth it!
