Hot Milk Sponge Cake

 Shannon (Pennsylvania) says:
This is a great recipe, although I altered it a bit. Didn't use the Spanish red peanuts, but instead used just a bit more vanilla, a dash of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice for an autumnal spice kick to it, and added some diced Asian pears. Dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon...should be a hit at Thanksgiving!

My mother made a cake similar to this but she doubled the recipe and added vanilla to the hot milk then folded it in the flour sugar mixture. She baked it in a tube pan. It was delicious!
