Description

This Soft and Moist Condensed Milk Cake is a buttery, rich, and easy-to-make dessert with a tender crumb and deep caramelized flavor. Made with simple ingredients and no frosting required, it’s the perfect go-to cake for any occasion or cozy treat.


Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Optional:
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Fresh berries or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or loaf pan and line with parchment if desired.

  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.

  3. Add melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.

  4. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined—don’t overmix.

  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

  6. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with fresh fruit, if desired.


Notes

  • For citrus flavor, add 1 tbsp lemon or orange zest.
  • Swap ½ cup of flour with almond flour for a richer texture.
  • Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or coconut for variation.
  • Drizzle with more condensed milk for a sticky-sweet top layer.
