Hot Milk Cake

I baked a cake last week.  This cake was to reward myself for being a mother, well, even though not a perfect one.  I baked a hot milk cake, an very old-fashioned cake.  I am a weird person, perhaps.  As I wished to taste a cake that the recipe passed down from women of many generations.  Old-fashioned cake is classic.  I like the moist and buttery texture with a sponge cake consistency.  I like it simply because it called for everyday ingredients, no waiting time for the butter to be softened, and cup is being used instead of scale.  Overall, it is so original.  Try to bake one, and you will understand what I mean.
