It is a recipe I will definitely keep revisiting. My hubby like it as well, he described it as light and extremely spongy.

I am hot milk cake it will turn out good thank u for the receipe
Definitely going to try it. Thanks for ur recipe
My pleasure ☺️
Thank you for your recipe. Can’t wait to try it for my husband.
Sounds good.
Is there a replacement for castor sugar? Can regular granulated sugar be used instead?
Use powdered sugar
Castor sugar has little bit of corn flour do we need to add corn flour
Castor sugar has no corn flour. Icing sugar has corn flour. So avoid icing sugar. You can use castor or regular plain powdered sugar here.
Just made this cake. So easy and very delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe
Thanks for the feedback, my pleasure.
Wow it looks so yummy ,I am surely going to try it
Thank you
Thank you
How can I get flat top like urs
By using the correct size of tin.
By ensuring the baking powder/ soda is not too old or expired.
And lastly it depends on how the oven heats as oven works differently.
Should the butter and milk be cooled before adding to the flour and yogurt mixture?
No, no need for letting them cool
Very nice recipe..But can we replace butter with oil?
Thanks, oil won’t taste good and the texture will be sticky
Why no eggs when there’s dairy? Not vegan…or vegetarian to my knowledge. What milk to substitute? Almond, soy, ? Trying to find recipes. Thanks.
This is vegetarian, not vegan though.
As for the nit based milk, I’ve not tried using those so i won’t know how the taste would be using either of these.
Wonderful recipe. I m definitely going to try it pretty soon. Just a query the cup you have used here is 240 ml or 200ml?
Thanks Aparna.
My cup says 8 ounces, approx 225 ml.
Can we replace maida with wholewheat flour??
That will not work out. The texture and the flavour will be different.
Amazing and easy recipe!!
My cake is baking in the oven..can’t wait to eat it.
Thanks for the feedback! Hope you enjoyed it 😊
Hi, how your cake is not browned from top. Do we keep the oven on bottom element heating only. I keep on both top and bottom element heating and the top of the cake also gets browned. The cake tasted amazing. Thanks.
Thanks, glad you liked it.
You can keep the top element on or off depending on the baking duration. 😊
This is one of my favourite tea time cakes. I have already made them twice. My family loves it.
Thank you Nandita!!!
Hi can I substitute the sugar with a sweetener.
Many thx
Hi.. when you say a sweetener .. I’m guessing you mean a sugar free sweetener. I think that should work however I have not personally baked with artificial sweeteners so wouldn’t be able to help you with the quantity though..
thanks for stopping by!! 😊
Hi i tried eggless hot milk cake and it turned out really good. Can we add wheat flour instead of plain flour.

Hey Megan, that’s a lovely feedback! I’m glad you loved the cake! Many thanks.. Happy 2021 to u too☺️
Hi! I tried this many times it came out awesome. But today it was too wet n liquidy from inside , it didnt bake well.
What can be the reason? Not sure where i went wrong
Thank u for trying, I guess the curd was a bit more moist than necessary. Check if it’s too watery.
Hi … I tried this cake with both all purpose flour and wheat flour…came out so good . Everyone at home liked it and finished in half an hour.. thank you for sharing
