Condensed Milk Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- **Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare the Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan or a similar-sized pan, or you can line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this step, but a whisk will also work.
Step 3: Add the Condensed Milk and Eggs
- Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat well to combine.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth.
Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—don’t overwork the batter.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be lightly golden on top.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can dust the top with powdered sugar or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or some fresh fruit for extra flavor.
Additional Variations:
- Chocolate Condensed Milk Cake: Add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients for a chocolate twist.
- Lemon Condensed Milk Cake: Add the zest of 1 lemon and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for a refreshing citrus flavor.
- Coconut Condensed Milk Cake: Mix in 1/2 cup of shredded coconut into the batter for a tropical flavor.
- Topping: After baking, drizzle some sweetened condensed milk on top for extra creaminess.
