One of our favourite things about baking is, of course, licking the spoon when you’re done but secondly eating the cake fresh out of the oven whilst it’s still warm. When we first heard about Hot Milk Cake we thought it sounded too good to be true, soft, fluffy and creamy all in one. This is the cake equivalent of a nice hot bubble bath, it’s good for your soul, take it from us. Can you tell we like cake?
Aside from it’s all round deliciousness, this cake is super simple to make. Serve with a homemade berry compote and fresh cream *chef’s kiss*.
Enjoy! 🥛
