Old Fashioned Hot Milk Cake

Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk I use whole milk, but 2% would work
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° and lightly grease a 9x13 pan
  • Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs on high speed for 5 minutes or until thickened and lemon-colored. Gradually add sugar, beating until mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla and beat in.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed until smooth.
  • In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter just until butter is melted. Gradually add to batter; beating just until combined. The batter will be very thin.
  • Pour into prepared baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
  • Serve with a dusting of confectionery sugar or with some berries and whipped cream

Notes

If you have to use salted butter cut salt down to 1/4 tsp
I have also had success baking this in a bundt pan.
