Here is an easy old fashioned hot milk cake that is amazing and only needs a few ingredients. It's delicious as is and a great base for strawberry shortcake too!
Melt butter and add milk to pot on stove until it is melted and then keep on warm to stay hot until you are ready to mix it in.
Add all other ingredients including the eggs and vanilla to the dry mixture after you have thoroughly mixed the flour and baking powder so it is mixed in well.
Slowly combine hot milk and butter mixture to dry ingredient bowl and mix on low with a mixer until everything is combined well.
Spray 9x13 pan with non stick spray and bake on 350 degrees or about 30 minutes.
Take out when top is golden brown. Eat warm or cool and you seriously don't need anything on top (strawberries or blueberries are great though, use like a strawberry shortcake).
