Hot Milk Sponge Cake
"Old faithful!
I've used this recipe for years because it's just so easy. It has a nice sweet crust on the top which I know is probably because the recipe calls for too much sugar.
I actually like it like that because then I don't have to frost it! :-)
So, I thought I'd post it anyway. Adjust sugar according to your taste.
To each his own!!"

This was delicious! I was looking for a recipe for my mother's birthday. She wanted strawberry shortcake, and usually she buys (ick) shortcake from the grocery. I wanted to make it instead, and found this recipe. I wanted to be able to make it in a 9x13 pan, and I wanted it to be a tasty sponge cake, not plain like an angel food. I also had never made one before, and didn't know if I could do all the whipping egg whites I always associated with sponge cakes. This recipe gave me everything I wanted, AND my mother LOVED it! I will be making sponge cakes now! (It worked even though my son messed up the racks, and it cooked tilted. It was funny looking due to the tilt, but it still worked--this is a workhorse recipe that can take some mistakes-LOL!) -
This is a favorite recipe from my husband's family in Maryland. The only difference is my recipe calls for 1/2 c. butter. I have also used cake flour with success. I bake this cake in a regular pan (or 2 round 9" cake pans)and then frost with mocha icing. I know many people who have not been able to get the cake to rise- I have heard the key is to beat the eggs well (about 5-10 minutes!)Enjoy.

I am a proud mother of three healthy boys aged 15,11 and 5. I'm originally from the tiny island of Bermuda and have been living in Edinburgh since July 2005.
I've been collecting recipes since I was about 14 or 15 and been cooking and baking since then as well.
I love all kinds of crafts also. In my spare time if I'm not in the kitchen; I crochet, make jewelry, bead, knit, sew, cross stitch, do plastic canvas and quilt. I have a short attention span, so I have plenty of different craft choices when I get bored of doing something. Oh, and I also like to read, listen to music, fiddle with any electronic gadget, collect dvd's and watch them, and I'm an internetaholic! :-) I keep a craft blog at http://hobbyzu.blogspot.com and I sell my crocheted items and patterns at http://hobbyzu.com. I keep pretty busy and being self employed gives me more time to explore cooking! :-)
I'm mostly interested in cook books featuring regular old home cooking and favorites. When I moved to the UK I had to get rid of my cookbook collection. I did keep all my Bermudian cookbooks, charity cookbooks and 'The Foods of Israel Today' and Better Homes and Gardens 'Hometown Favorites'.

I am most passionate when it comes to my family and caring for them. Getting to feed them is an added bonus! Lucky for me, my boys are steadily growing pigs with bottomless pits for stomachs! lol :-)
