Tasty Tuesday: Plain And Simple Hot Milk Sponge Recipe

I realise that I haven’t posted a new Tasty Tuesday recipe in ages, so here’s one that you can use for all occasions – a hot milk sponge cake. This is always the base for my children’s birthday cakes and is perfect for trifles or for sandwiching strawberries and cream.

I also baked this cake for my son’s third birthday. Read More About It In The Birthday Party That Wasn’t.
