Hot milk cake is a soft, fluffy and buttery vanilla scented cake made with scalded milk. This old fashioned milk cake has a deliciously rich, moist and tender crumb.

Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C). Move the middle rack to the next lowest position in your oven.Grease a 10- inch (12 cup capacity bundt pan) with nonstick spray. Use a pastry brush to work the nonstick spray into all the grooves of the pan.

Step 1:  

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together until well combined. Set aside for now.

Step 2:  

Add the butter and milk to a sauce pan or small pot. Heat the butter and milk to a simmer over medium heat to melt the butter and to bring the mixture to a simmer. 

Step 3:  

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whisk in the eggs together on medium-high for 2 - 3 minutes.   Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the sugar to the egg mixture. Once all the sugar has been added, increased the mixing speed to medium-high for an additional 1 - 2 minutes.

Step 4:  

Reduce the speed to low and add the dry ingredients to the eggs and sugar. Once all the dry ingredients have been added slowly add the warm milk and butter mixture to the cake batter. Continue to mix the cake batter on low until all the warm milk has been added.  Finally, mix the vanilla extract into the warm milk cake batter on low.

Step 5:  

Evenly pour the hot milk vanilla cake batter into the prepared bundt pan or your preferred cake pan. – Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes.Bake the bundt cake for 40 - 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the milk cake comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 6:  

Invert the bundt cake onto another cooling rack or plate. Cool the cake completely before topping or serving. I recommend a dusting of powdered sugar, and serve alongside fresh fruit and whipped cream.
