A moist and rich condensed milk cake made in six simple steps. Perfectly sweet, dense yet tender, and packed with classic flavor.
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf or round cake pan.
Melt butter and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk condensed milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
Sift flour and baking powder into the wet mixture. Fold gently until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth top and tap to release air bubbles.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool fully.
Cake can be stored at room temperature for 3 days or frozen for 2 months. Serve with fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.
