Milk Spongecake
A traditional Kerala sweet that balances richness with restraint. Made with jaggery, coconut, and a careful hand, the sweetness is warm rather than overwhelming — the kind of flavour that lingers.
Ingredientsfor 6 servings
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 cup All purpose flour Maida
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 6 nos Eggs
- 2 cup Sugar — powdered
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Preparation
Step 1
Boil milk in a saucepan until bubbles form around the edges. Set aside.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 180 C.
Step 3
Sift the flour with baking powder and salt. Set it aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, and beat the eggs at high speed until thick.
Step 5
Add sugar gradually and blend well for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Add flour and blend in low speed until smooth.
Step 7
Add warm milk and vanilla and and beat to combine.
Step 8
Pour the batter into an un-greased baking pan.
Step 9
Bake for 30 minutes or until the top turns golden. You can also insert a toothpick in the centre and check whether it comes out clean.
Step 10
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
Step 11
Serve the milk spongecake with frosting or as plain.
Tip
Hard-boil the eggs first, then make shallow cuts on the surface before adding them to the gravy — this lets the masala flavour penetrate inside.
