Citrus Old Fashioned Hot Milk Cake is light and refreshing hints of orange and lemon. It’s topped with a generous amount of fresh lemon whipped cream. Try serving it with berries!
You can serve this cake with a generous dollop of lemon whipped cream or treat the whip like a frosting. If you decide to frost your cake with whip, as seen in our pictures, I like to pop it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the whip to set. This lets you cleanly cut the cake!
Because of the fresh whip, any leftovers must be kept in the fridge. I have also had success keeping it in the freezer for up to one week!
