Aren’t there so many things that are considered breakfast and dessert? It’s so confusing! Like coffee cake, crumb cake, and apple slices. Heck, there’s even breakfast cookies! Well, here’s a new one to add to your list. Hot Milk Cake. Have you heard of it?

I do believe it is one of my mom’s favorites. This recipe was my grandma’s. And my the recipe card, I’m sure you’ll be able to tell this thing is old. 

Speaking of old recipes, about a year ago-last summer- I was going through all of my grandma’s recipes. MAN, does she have a lot! And that is where I came across a bunch of these really, really old cookbook. I feel like everyone just looks for their recipes on the internet now and cookbooks are pointless. But there is just something about using a cookbook that gives me a little satisfaction. Plus, they seem a little bit more credible than some people on the internet. But what do I know?

Notice the descriptive instructions...lol

This recipe is quite versatile. It’s a pretty basic cake, nothing too fancy. However, it does hit the spot. I mean when you’re eating it, you don’t get that feeling that you ate a ton, like how you might feel after eating a coffee cake or crumb cake. It feels like a nice, light cake with that perfect amount of sweetness. 

Go ahead, give my grandma’s recipe a try! It’s surprisingly tasty.

Yes-it looks burnt, but don't worry it's supposed to look that way because when you flip it over it'll be all light and pretty!

and no, you don’t serve it hot. It’s like a billion degrees here today and you would have to be crazy to ask me to heat anything up. Also, I would consider this more of a breakfast food-it was kind of hard deciding what section to put this under on my recipes page but yes, here’s breakfast!
