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