Description

Condensed Milk Cake delivers rich, buttery flavor with a moist, tender crumb thanks to sweetened condensed milk, making it an irresistible and simple dessert perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: zest of 1 lemon or orange

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and eggs until smooth and slightly lightened in color, about 2 minutes.
  3. Slowly pour in the cooled melted butter while whisking continuously until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Add vanilla extract and optional zest if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a tropical twist, add ½ cup desiccated coconut to the batter and replace vanilla with coconut extract. Store cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
