Aunt Lil Branco's Hot Milk Sponge Cake

This is one of our all-time favorite cakes. It is amazing. You must make it....be warned it can be a "flopper." Even then, its worth it :)

Aunt Lil Branco's Hot Milk Sponge Cake

Use Turk's Head Pan

Preheat Oven to 325 degrees

Heat 1/4 pound butter and 1 cup milk on very low heat (watch that it does not boil or burn)
Using mixer combine gradually: 1-3/4 cup sugar, 4 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla

Slowly add milk/butter mixture to the flour mix (a little at a time)

Mom: "I remember my Aunt Lil adding everything slowly to the main batter and a little at a time."
