Josée and Isabelle's Warm Milk Cake~



When I saw Josée's cake(I missed Isa's).. I knew Jacques would love it..So for NYE I made it as soon as Josée posted it I think:)

The white cake is similar to mine.. that I have made for 37 yrs..given to me by a neighbor when I was first married..Mme.Cardin:)

And the topping reminded me a bit of a recipe a lady I met in my pre-natal class 36 yrs ago gave me:)

So the 2 combined..I just knew they would work here..



A nice moist plain cake.. and you add the topping after it's baked..then broil for a bit..
I am glad I had the 7 inch Springform.. as it is perfect.
I had to bake mine longer than 30 mins..every oven is different..

2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 cup flour
1 pinch salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp butter

Mix the eggs and sugar until pale and creamy ap.3 mins..
add the dry ings that you have sifted and mixed together
add the milk and butter that you have warmed enough for the butter to melt..but not for the milk to boil..I do mine in the microwave..and watch..

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven.. in a prepared 7 inch springform pan..

Meanwhile.....

Mix :

6 tbsps melted butter
1/4 cup cream 35%
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans(I was out..used walnuts)
1/ cup coconut
1/2 tsp of vanilla.

As soon as you remove your cake from the oven (test w/ a toothpick..I had to bake mine longer as I said..)add the mixture and broil a bit..

Just lovely..
Thank you ladies~

  5. How beautifully delicious! The pecans and coconut - oh my. This is going into my recipe file for when my waistline slims down a bit from the holiday excesses. Jacques is such a lucky man but I'm sure he knows that :)

  6. Gorgeous photography!

    Oh Mme. M... you've touched a nerve here. It is so similar to a cake my own Nana used to make, the cake, topping and everything. I think I still have her tattered hand-written recipe card. :)

    Back then it was known as "Lazy Daisy Cake" I believe ~(in San Francisco, anyway.)

    I loved it then, and I'm sure we would love it now, just as much. However, yours is definitely more beautiful, for sure! Thank you for the memory jog... I'm so glad you shared. xo

  7. I could see from the thumbnail on my page that Nana had made something moist and tasty! I had a neighbor who pours warm sweetened milk over her yellow cake...ohhhh is it good.
    Today I made a cranberry almond streudel cake.

  15. Really a lovely cake, Monique. A plain white cake has always been my favorite kind (I prefer vanilla ice cream too...my kids have always thought this was so boring) but then you have made a frosting for the top that is similar to one on a German Chocolate cake...which has always been the only part I liked about that cake! What a super combo!

  16. The coconut nut topping is irresistible on this beautiful little cake. Gorgeous photo, Monique. You do magical things with your camera.

  26. first time here. What a lovely cake and love all your pictures!

  27. I am so glad I don't have any New Year's resolutions about not eating sweets! This looks fantastic and I am sure I could eat just the topping off several slices. I will have to try it when we get home.

    To answer your question, we try to get down here once a month during the winter months and then avoid July-Sept., the hurricane months. It helps us keep an eye on it and stay on top of the property manager and rentals. It is only a 3 hour non-stop flight so it makes it pretty easy.

    Oh, yes, Noah's snow man is fantastic, love the hair especially.

  28. Merci! That is my favourite cake and I love this recipe because it makes a small cake Will have to look for a 7in springform. Great picture.

  32. Bonjour Monique, merci beaucoup pour le clin d'oeil et il est vraiment extra ton gâteau.
    Ma mère aussi fait un gâteau très similaire depuis plus de 30 ans avec quelques variantes.
    Celui-ci est plus moelleux à mon avis.

    Je te souhaite une belle journée.

    Josée bisous

  33. That topping looks like heaven, Monique. I love chewy coconut toppings... the pecans make it just perfect and your pictures are... evocative, can I say that? They just make me want to snag a piece off the screen! As soon as I get through my 12th cake I am trying this!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh gosh, will the parade of gorgeous tempting treats ever stop? (Not that I really want it to!) This cake, by the looks of it, couldn't be more appealing if it tried. Your photos, as always, are completely elegant and stunning.

  37. Sounds creamy and delicious. I love your French cake plate.

  38. Looks so light and wonderfully rich at the same time. It seems like a white German Chocolate Cake, which is also a little retro.

    Thanks, M!

  39. Ce gâteau me rappelle bien des souvenirs car, comme ma mère, il fut celui que je préparais à toutes les sauces lorsque j'étais jeune mariée : avec des fraises, en pouding chômeur, etc...

    Vos photos sont magnifiques!
