My mother also made this recipe in a long loaf pan which I don't believe they make any more. Fortunately, I have her pan and whenever I make this it sure brings back such happy memories. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.

I've made this many times now very good. I did have one loaf that didn't turn out and that was because I over beated it and it sunk in after I took it out of the oven. Other than that 'one' mishap this is quite fluffy and sweet. Read More

I should of realized this recipe was flawed when the sugar ingredient was only 1 1/2 teaspons. But I still gave it a try and it came out exactly like my expectations. No flavour not even spongy. Maybe there was a typo with the ingredients. If I added more sugar this cake could of probably been saved. But instead it falls flat! EDITORS NOTE: The incorrect sugar amount was due to a technical error on our part. We have fixed the recipe and apologize for the inconvenience. Read More

Really good simple recipe. I've never tasted a "milk cake" before- it really did have a sweet milk flavor to it. I liked the texture alot similar to angel food cake but WAY easier prep. Read More

This cake is a great tasting easy cake. I almost didn't make it because of the previous review but saw the editor note and proceeded. My young son helped make it. Also is a great recipe for using milk that is about to go bad... LOL! Thumbs up! Read More

Followed the recipe exact. Texture was exactly what I was looking for (perfect) but it was very "eggy" tasting and not very sweet. My daughter said it tasted like plain pancakes. I couldn't serve this (made it for strawberry shortcake) It went in the garbage. Read More

I made this sponge cake again in muffin pans (using paper muffin cups)... and this really helped solve the problem of it sticking to the pan. I recommend it! Read More

This was a good cake it was more like a pound cake than a sponge cake though. I made it for strawberry shortcake and it fared well for that purpose. I actually liked it better plain with just whipped cream on top. Yum! Read More

I didn't like this too much because it was a bit too "eggy" tasting but that may be the case with most sponge cakes (Im not a sponge cake conesseur) Read More
