Condensed Milk Cake

⏱️ Total Time: 50–60 minutes

🍽️ Serves: 8–10 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted (or ½ cup oil for lighter texture)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 2 tbsp milk (if batter feels too thick)

Instructions

🔹 Step 1: Preheat

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and line a 9-inch round or 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

🔹 Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together condensed milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

🔹 Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined — the batter will be thick and smooth.
  3. If it feels too thick, stir in a couple of tablespoons of milk.

🔹 Step 4: Bake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

🔹 Step 5: Cool & Serve

  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature — plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with fresh fruit and whipped cream.

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Coconut twist: Add ½ cup desiccated coconut to the batter.
  • Citrus version: Stir in 1 tbsp lemon or orange zest for brightness.
  • Frosting idea: Top with cream cheese frosting or drizzle with sweetened condensed milk glaze.
  • Storage: Keeps well for up to 4 days in an airtight container or freeze up to 2 months.
