Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square cake pan, or line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and whole milk until smooth and well combined.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and prevent lumps.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake Time: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, indicating the cake is done.
- Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture.
- Serve: Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve your moist, delicious condensed milk cake.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Ensure your baking powder is fresh for proper rising.
- Cooling the cake completely before dusting with powdered sugar prevents it from melting into the cake.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
