Condensed Milk Cake is a delightful dessert that offers a rich, buttery flavor and a moist, tender crumb. This simple yet irresistible cake is perfect for any occasion, showcasing the sweetened condensed milk in a delicious and easy-to-make treat.

Ingredients

For the cake:

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

Notes

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