A Condensed Milk Cake is a super simple and delicious cake that uses sweetened condensed milk to create a moist, tender texture. This cake is rich, slightly sweet, and perfect for any occasion. Here’s a basic recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup milk (whole milk or any preferred milk)
-
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting, whipped cream for topping
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This will help prevent any lumps in your cake.
4. Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Start by adding a little of the dry mixture, followed by a little milk, and continue until both are fully incorporated. Mix just until smooth – be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour and Bake:
-
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top if needed.
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream before serving.
Tips:
-
For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest or cinnamon to the batter.
-
Frosting idea: You can make a simple buttercream or cream cheese frosting to go with the cake if you prefer a frosted cake.
Enjoy your Condensed Milk Cake! It’s perfect for a quick dessert or as a sweet treat with tea or coffee.
