    Baked this cake for a family dinner. Everyone loved it. Three of my extremely health conscious guests ate two pieces each. What a simple but divine dessert.

    Question for those who have made this cake: Do you turn it out of the pan before or after you add the milk? It seems like it would absorb the milk better if left in the pan, but then would be hard to remove. I am making this cake for a birthday and need to frost the whole thing, so I can't leave it in the pan for serving. Thanks!
