Creating the Old-Fashioned Hot Milk Cake involves a few straightforward steps. Follow this process for best results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. Heat the Milk: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the whole milk. Heat until just before boiling, then remove from heat.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
4. Beat the Eggs: In another bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and light in color. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with the hot milk and butter. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

With these instructions, you’re on your way to creating a delightful Old-Fashioned Hot Milk Cake that can be cherished by all.
