A simple, fluffy cake prep time: 30 Min baking time: 45 Min

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Sift together flour and baking powder. Heat milk in a small saucepan until just boiling, then remove from heat and set aside.
Beat eggs until foamy, then add sugar. Continue beating on medium-high speed until thick and lemon colored. Add vanilla, reduce mixer speed to medium and add hot milk in a steady stream. Quickly beat in flour mixture.
Pour into a 10 inch tube pan, or a 9 inch round pan. Bake in preheated oven 45 minutes, or until top springs back when lightly tapped.
Dust with confectioner\'s sugar or frost.

I am so glad i've found this recipe - my mother used to make a hot milk sponge cake when i was a child in South Africa in the '70s and they were best for Victoria Sponge. All the Victoria Sponge cake recipes i've tasted have been quite heavy. i so look forward to trying this recipe as it looks the same as my mother made except she had margarine melted in the milk.

DAWNRIGONI.... THANK YOU SO MUCH for your Hot Milk Sponge Cake When I was a young girl in High School back in 1965 in SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA my Home Economics (cooking teacher) gave us a very good recipe very similar to your own (her recipe had butter which you melted in the hot milk & then poured the milk mixture on the side of the mixing bowl very carefully into the other ingredients) well to cut a long story short.. I am now 60 years old (BUT I certainly don't feel, act or look it thanks the great man above & also my Polish/Austrian European heritage) I lost my recipe & this is the first time I have seen a recipe for a Sponge with Hot Milk BLESS you from the bottom of my heart Krystyna in Sydney
