Favorite Forgotten Cakes

These are some of the best cakes you’ve never heard of. First, it’s Hot Milk Sponge Cake, which offers a science lesson on scalded milk. We make a Broken Phyllo Baklava Cake, using broken bits of phyllo dough to make a cake flavored with honey, cardamom and pistachios. Finally, it’s Invisible Apple Cake (Gâteau Invisible), where thin slices of apple disappear into an egg-rich batter.
