Step-by-step baking guide
The recipe for custard sponge cake with hot milk begins with preparing the ingredients. Remove everything you need to create this delicate delicacy from the refrigerator a few hours before you start cooking. All ingredients should be at room temperature. Milk is an exception and should be left in the refrigerator to prevent it from going sour. Are all ingredients hot enough? Great, then turn on the oven at 180 degrees. During the time you spend kneading the dough, it will have time to heat up well.
- Rinse the eggs and then break them into a large bowl. Arm yourself with a mixer and start beating the ingredient at low speeds, gradually increasing the speed and turning it into a homogeneous mass. After 5 minutes, carefully add granulated sugar into the egg mixture in a thin stream. Beat the mixture until it turns into a white thick foam. This effect usually occurs 8-10 minutes after adding granulated sugar.
- In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients: baking powder, a pinch of salt and flour. Mix the products thoroughly, ensuring their even distribution. This is necessary so that the American sponge cake with hot milk rises evenly.
- Adding carefully in small portions, combine the dry mixture with the beaten egg. Use a hand whisk or silicone spatula to mix. To ensure that the dough remains as airy as the egg mass, perform the procedure with smooth movements from bottom to top.
- Pour milk into a separate saucepan. Place the container over medium heat. Add butter to milk. Heat until the ingredient is completely dissolved. As soon as a light foam begins to form on the milk, immediately remove it from the stove. It is important not to let the product boil, otherwise the biscuit will not brew.
- Constantly stirring the dough with a whisk or spatula, pour hot milk into it. This should be done carefully, introducing the ingredient in a thin stream, trying to let the milk flow down the walls of the dish. For convenience, you can use a mixer by turning it on at the lowest speed. The dough is ready.
- Grease the bottom of a springform baking dish with a piece of butter. The walls of the container should be left free of fat. Otherwise, the biscuit will not be able to rise fully, because... will flow down from the slippery sides of the mold. Pour the dough into the prepared bowl.
- Place the container with the future delicious sponge cake made with hot milk into the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes. At first, you absolutely cannot open the oven door, because... the tender dough will simply fall off. As soon as the magical smell of baking begins to spread throughout the kitchen, and this will happen in about 20-25 minutes, you can slightly open the door to check the readiness of the product.
- Turn off the oven and open it slightly. Leave the biscuit in the oven for another 10 minutes. This procedure will reduce the risk of finished baked goods falling off.
- Cool the biscuit and then remove it from the mold. Sprinkle the pastries with powdered sugar and serve. If desired, cut the product into cakes and soak them with cream, jam or condensed milk.

Making chocolate sponge cake
This dessert must be prepared using the following technology:
- Break the eggs into a deep bowl. Beat the ingredient with a mixer until smooth. With the electric whisk still working, gradually add the brown sugar. Beat the mixture until it turns white.
- Turn the oven to 180 degrees so that it has time to heat up enough.
- Combine flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder in a separate container. Mix all products thoroughly using a regular tablespoon. Sift the resulting mixture through a sieve. For best results, repeat this procedure twice.
- Quickly but carefully fold the dry mixture into the egg mixture. Move the spatula in one direction - from bottom to top. Do not let the whipped egg whites fall off.
- Combine milk with butter in a convenient ladle. Place the container on the fire. Bring the ingredients to a temperature of 80-85 degrees, then remove from the stove. Be careful not to burn the milk. This will greatly spoil the taste of the chocolate biscuit.
- All that remains is to brew the dough with hot milk. Pour the liquid into the thick mass in a thin stream, constantly whisking it with a mixer or whisk.

- Place the pan in a hot oven. Bake the biscuit for 25-30 minutes.
- Open the oven door slightly, turning it off. Leave the baked goods in this position for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the biscuit will “get used” to the colder temperature, so it will not settle.

Lemon pie
If you want to prepare baked goods with an unforgettable citrus aroma, then use the classic sponge cake recipe. In addition to the ingredients indicated in it, you will need the zest of half a lemon and 2-3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed juice from its pulp. These products should be added to the dough when you add the dry mixture to the beaten eggs with sugar. Further, the cooking process is no different from creating a classic sponge cake. The finished baked goods will delight you with a fresh aroma and a slight lemon flavor. You can make orange dessert in a similar way.
Cooking process:
The key to a successful sponge cake is to prepare a high-quality egg-sugar mixture. Therefore, beat the eggs with sugar until fluffy foam, until the contents increase in volume by 2-3 times.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder.
In small portions, in 3-4 batches, transfer the resulting loose mixture into a bowl with the egg-sugar mixture. Mix with a spatula from bottom to top.
Pour the milk into a saucepan or bowl that can be placed on the stove. Put the oil there and put it on low heat.
We bring it to the first bursts and turn it off. Pour hot milk with melted butter into the bowl with the biscuit dough.
Mix quickly. The biscuit dough should not be thick, but not too runny. Grease the multicooker bowl or baking dish in the oven generously with butter (I usually use butter), and transfer the dough there.
Bake the milk sponge cake in a multicooker on the “Baking” mode for 60 minutes, i.e. the time programmed by the device. In the oven - about 45 minutes (preheat the oven to 180 degrees in advance).
We check readiness with a match or a thin wooden stick. Ready-made baked goods usually come out of the mold easily, so after placing them on a plate, you can sprinkle them with powdered bread or pour chocolate glaze over them for beauty.
Enjoy your tea!

How to diversify traditional American baked goods
It doesn’t take much effort to make the biscuit more original and tasty. Some ingredients added to the dough during kneading will do the job perfectly.
- Raisins, dried apricots or prunes, cut into small pieces, will add a unique touch to the dessert. You should not put too large pieces of dried fruit into the dough, they will simply fall to the bottom.
- Chocolate drops, almond flakes, finely crushed almonds or hazelnuts, as well as candied fruits can play the same role.
- You can add small pieces of fresh or canned fruits and berries to the pie dough. Peach, apricot, cherry, strawberry, raspberry and plum are perfect.
- Try making Marble biscuit. To do this, you need to knead two parts of the dough - one classic, the other chocolate. Place a teaspoon of white mixture into a baking dish. Now the same amount of chocolate. Alternate the two types of dough in the specified sequence until both pieces are finished. The pie is baked in the traditional way.

Almond, coconut, banana, cognac, cherry - these are just a small part of the available essences with which your cake will acquire a magical aroma.
- Alcoholic drinks will also add interesting characteristics to the biscuit. The same “Baileys”, “Amaretto”, “Malibu”, “Sheridan” will give baked goods an unforgettable taste and aroma. High-quality cognac has the same properties. Just don't overdo it! For the indicated amount of ingredients (for a classic American sponge cake), 30 ml of any drink is enough. This component should be added before adding hot milk.
- You can easily make a colorful cake using custard sponge cake. For this you will need food coloring. If you decide to create a bright dessert, then use high-quality products for coloring. Gel dyes would be an ideal option. This product will give your baked goods a really bright, rich color. Dry and liquid dyes, unfortunately, do not have such properties. Such products will only give the dessert a dull and inconspicuous shade. To make a multi-colored cake based on American sponge cake, prepare the dough according to the classic recipe. Now divide it into 4-5 parts, paint each of them a different color. Bake the cakes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 15 minutes. The times are indicated for each individual part of the test.
Little tricks for great pleasure
Custard sponge cake is a baked product that is quite simple to prepare. In any case, if you compare it with the traditional French delicacy. However, there are also some nuances here, which, if not observed, can ruin the entire dessert.
- If you are baking a sponge cake to create a cake, then you should not rush to coat the finished cake with cream. The resulting fluffy cake needs to be cooled, then wrapped tightly in cling film and refrigerated for 8-12 hours. Thanks to these manipulations, the baked goods will acquire a brighter taste, and cutting them into separate layers will not be difficult. Fresh biscuits tend to crumble a lot. As a result, the cakes turn out uneven or full of holes.
- Never bring milk to a boil. The ingredient must be removed from the stove as soon as the first foam appears. Otherwise, the dough will not brew and will form very unappetizing lumps. A sponge cake baked from such a preparation will not rise and will have a “rubber” structure.
- Always sift flour when adding it to the dough. With this procedure, the ingredient is saturated with oxygen, and the baked goods are more tender and airy. Don't be lazy to repeat sifting twice. This way you can achieve such delicious results that even the most fastidious gourmets will appreciate the biscuit.
