Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute non-dairy milk for regular milk in this cake recipe?

Yes, you can substitute non-dairy milk such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk for regular milk. Just make sure to choose an unsweetened variety to maintain the cake's intended flavor.

How should I store leftover milk cake to keep it fresh?

Store any leftover milk cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.

What should I do if my milk cake does not rise properly?

If your cake does not rise well, ensure that your baking powder is fresh and not expired. Additionally, avoid overmixing the batter, as this can cause the cake to become dense. To check if your cake is done, stick a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

Panicked and added baking soda, shouldn't have because it would have been nicer dense, lowered the oven temperature slightly as my oven runs very hot and added a teaspoon of vanilla, it was lovely but will stick to the authentic recipe next time

Was easy to make with things I had on hand already. I thought the flavor would be too bland so I added 2 tsp of lemon extract and it's delicious
