How to Make 5-Minute Milk Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until the mixture becomes light and creamy.

Sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix gently.

Step 2: Heat the Milk Mixture

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter together until the butter fully melts. Do not boil.

Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the batter while stirring continuously until smooth.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

Grease the baking pan lightly with butter or oil.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (347°F) for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool & Serve

Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing.

Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with tea and coffee for the perfect homemade treat.

Tips for the Best Milk Cake

  • Use room-temperature eggs for better texture.
  • Warm milk helps create a softer crumb.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake fluffy.
  • Add lemon zest or cinnamon for extra flavor.
