Momofuku Milk Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For the Milk Cake, you will need: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 2 large eggs. You will also need 1 cup whole milk and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract for the glaze.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with the vegetable oil and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar, salt, and dry milk powder until light and fluffy. Add in the flour and mix until just combined. With the mixer running, add in the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, vanilla extract, and remaining butter until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Once the cake is done baking, remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Pour the glaze over the cake and spread evenly. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
