Everyone loves cake, you cannot tell me any different. Frosted, iced, plain, fancy, filled, homemde, commercially made, warm, cooled, large, small or in cupcake style... cake is cake is CAKE! Here's my universal cake recipe you can use for all occasions. However, tell me your favorite cake and why?
HOT MILK SPONGE CAKE
Ingredients:
1 stick of butter or margarine
1 cup milk
2 cups flour (any kind)
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teas baking powder
1 1/2 teas vanilla
In microwave or saucepan on stove, heat milk and butter until melted, DO NOT SCALD. Set aside.
In large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients well and slowly add the warm milk mixture while beating (electric hand mixer preferred on medium speed) until most of the lumps are gone. There may be some lumps leftover.
Bake in well-greased loaf, bundy=t, tube or cake pans for about one hour at 350 F degrees. Do NOT open oven to check on cake before 45 minutes have passed to avoid center drop. Depending on where you live, you may need additional baking time.
Cool or if eating warm, wait about 20 minutes before cutting into.
You can frost, decorate, add fruit toppings or ice cream, sprinkle confectioner's sugar on it or eat plain. I like it plain and warm with a glass of milk!

QUICK CAKE FROSTING
One pound (one box) confectioner's sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup (2/3 stick) margarine, room temperature
1/4 cup thin liquid
1-2 teaspoons flavoring, optional (usually vanilla extract)
some drops of coloring, optional (juice of crushed berries works well)
Mix the sugar, salt, and margarine in a very clean bowl. Add the liquid. Beat
until smooth, adding more liquid if necessary. Use immediately and rapidly:
spread over a cooled cake with a rubber spatula or blunt knife. Decorate the
cake quickly, before the frosting hardens.

Cake is my favorite dessert but I like chocolate cake with seven minute frosting the best. My mother made that for our birthdays when we were growing up and still makes them today. Yummy! Thanks for your recipe, I will have to try it sometime.
