Hot Milk Cake

Today I'm going to share an old fashioned recipe for Hot Milk Cake.  I don't know why it's fallen off the grid, but this is my attempt to put it back.  So simple and satisfying.  It's sweet and really doesn't need any frosting, but I love to serve it with macerated strawberries and a dollop of freshly whipped cream.  I promise you will not be disappointed with this one.
