Do you eat it warm or cold? I was thinking of making a bento to school, but I wasn't too sure, 'cause the food will turn cold right?

i eat it cold unfortunately.
i made the bento the night before...
but after a few hours it will eventually turn cold. Unless you constantly sit on it like a bird or something

FAYE19 ~ hehe, thankx!! =]

yeh, i didnt make the icing too thick either. i was actually thinking of substituting it with whipping cream as with other cakes, but thought i should make it the "real" way since its first time

i wanted to put the cake in the freezer to like...blast chill it....but didnt have enough space cz the baking dish/tray was too big!, but i guess it didnt take that long for it to chill tho! =]

ooooh, and please do post up the other sponge cake recipe u have, itd be great

------------------------------------

you made the right decision to do away with the whipping cream coz' that would be too much IMO- pretty much like store-bought tres leches. ours would just seem thick but it's actually the egg whites and hardly sweet, right? next time try the chocolate one. i said add two more eggs because you are adding a quarter of a cup of another dry ingredient. actually when i make my yellow cake- i use eight egg yolks and six egg whites and the other two whites for the icing.

now for the sponge cake, here's recipe #1 - i'm trying another recipe in a few and i'll keep you posted how it turns out

The Best Angel Food Cake
adapted slightly from The Best Recipe

1 1/2 cups egg whites (10-12 large), room temperature
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar, divided
1 cup sifted cake flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla paste
1/2 tsp almond extract

Preheat oven to 325F.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup sugar and the cake flour. Set aside.
Beat egg whites until frothy, the add cream of tartar and salt. Beat until fully incorporated then begin to add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar 1-2 tablespoons at a time. When sugar has been added, beat egg whites to soft peaks. You will know when you have soft peaks because the egg whites will look like soft waves and when you lift the beaters, the peaks will droop back down into the batter. If your batter is falling in ribbons, it is not quite down. Don't be afraid to slow down the mixer and check a few times as you get close. Do not beat all the way to stiff peaks. Once you have soft peaks, add the vanilla and almond extracts and beat for a few seconds to evenly distribute.

Sift the flour/sugar mixture over the egg whites in 6-8 additions (depending on your proficiency with folding flour into egg whites) and gently fold it in after each addition. It is better to take your time and do it gently than to rush and deflate the egg whites.
Spoon batter into an ungreased 9 inch tube pan with a removeable bottom. Smooth the top with a spatula and tap the pan on the counter once or twice to ensure that there are no large bubbles lurking beneath the surface.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the top springs back when lightly pressed. Mine took 55 minutes.
Remove from oven an invert pan over a bottle. Allow to cool completely or overnight.
Gently run a thin knife around the sides, then around the bottom, of the pan to release the cake when you are ready to serve it.

note : i didn't wait for it to cool overnight

not necessarily- you can also use other brands or use melted chocolate squares or chocolate chips

i tried the hot milk sponge cake and this is how it turned out. i should have used a smaller baking pan so i'll have a thicker cake but i used my biggest so it baked faster but it's thin. it's yummy and moist and light though






and crepes for breakfast

i used multi-grain pancake mix for a little bite, filling is nutella and sliced bananas dusted with confectioner's sugar and drizzled with chocolate syrup



this one has blueberries and cream cheese filling topped with preserved blueberries and dusted with confectioner's sugar

^ oh wow! that cake lookz really light and fluffy. is the results as soft as the angel food cake recipe u posted previously? it lookz really good! is the recipe very different compared to the other recipe or do u just add hot milk to the mixture?

i see 2layers there, did u decorate it or just ate it like it is? but the single layer itself lookz slightly thick still!

and thaaanx for letting me know ur results =]

ps. now i understand why u mentioned about adding an extra 2 eggs for a chocolate version of the tres leches cake! makes sense now!!

What the recipe for hotmilk sponge cake? It looks simplebut delicious!!

it is really simple and easy.

HOT MILK SPONGE CAKE

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup super fine sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Position rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch round layer pan and line with a parchment circle.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter to almost boiling. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a triple sifter. Set aside.
Beat the eggs on medium-high speed in an electric mixer fitted with beaters or a whip attachment for about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, taking about 4-5 minutes to blend it in well. Scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally. The mixture will thicken and turn light yellow in color.
Reduce mixer speed to medium. Add the vanilla, then pour in the hot milk IN A STEADY STREAM, taking about 10 seconds. Immediately add the dry ingredients all at once, and beat just until blended, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Increase mixer speed to medium-high and beat 10 seconds. The batter will be very thin. Remove the bowl from the mixer and quickly pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake 30-35 minutes, or until the cake begins to come away from the sides of pan and is golden brown and springy to the touch.
Set on a cake rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around the sides of the pan to loosen. Invert pan onto the rack sprayed with nonstick coating and peel off the parchment paper. Invert again to finish cooling right-side up. Store the plain sponge layer under a glass dome or covered with aluminum foil at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze.

nope, the angel cake has a different texture (please check my fruit sponge cake with custard filling on page 185 and orange chiffon cake on p. 187) and this hot milk sponge cake has almost the same texture as the fruit sponge cake w/out the custard filling also on page 185.

since you're up to trying different recipes, why not try making Spago's chocolate chiffon cake p 186. i didn't realize how good it is till i baked it for the second time. i don't really eat what i bake right away or if my reason for making it is not to satisfy my craving. that spago's chiffon cake is really good... not sweet, so light and i am going to try do it in yellow or white cake.

did i fool you with my sponge cake? i just cut it in two and so it looks thicker with one half atop the other half

ohh and you are welcome- i think it's the essence of this thread right? sharing ....
