Hot Milk Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using non-stick spray or butter, grease a 13x9 pan.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter, just until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt, whisk to combine. Set aside.

Step 4

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and, using a hand-mixer at high-speed, beat the eggs until thick and light yellow (think lemon rind). Gradually add in the sugar and beat until fluffy. Add in vanilla.

Step 5

Turn the mixer down to a slow speed and slowly add in the flour mixture. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the milk and melted butter, beat just until combined.

Step 7

Pour the batter into your greased cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes back clean. Rest on a wire rack until completely cool.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the Chocolate Swiss Meringue according to instructions. Spread and smooth the meringue over the top of the cake. Cut into squares and serve!
