Recipe! Milk Cake! Yum!

Milk Cake 
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup scalded strawberry milk
1/4 cup butter

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and grease two cake pans, set aside
Beat 2 eggs, 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 ¾ cups sugar until fully combined
In a separate bowl, sift together 2.5 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder and ½ tsp salt
Add flour to egg mixture, mixing until just combined
In a small sauce pan, heat 1 cup milk (or strawberry milk) until almost boiling (there will be a little steam and a few small bubbles on the side of the pan)
add ¼ cup butter and turn off heat, stirring until butter is fully melted
Pour scalded milk/butter into the batter, stir until combined
Bake for about 35 minutes, until done

Scald milk and add butter, pour it onto the hot cake

Whipped Cream Frosting
1 package cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups heavy cream
hot pink food coloring
 
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and almond extract until smooth. With the mixer on medium speed, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Whip until the cream holds a stiff peak, about 3 minutes. Lastly, add the food coloring if using. Decorate the cake after it's fully cooled.
