Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 3 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Butter, melted (or 1/4 cup Oil as substitute)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2–4 tablespoons Milk (optional, to adjust batter consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and bring them to room temperature for best results. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined to form the moist, rich base of the cake.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to aerate the flour and ensure an even rise in the cake.
- Blend Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding them in with a spatula or whisk. Avoid overmixing to maintain a soft crumb, stopping as soon as the flour is incorporated.
- Adjust Batter Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time to reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Bake Your Condensed Milk Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and butter to help the batter blend smoothly and rise better.
- Mix the batter just until combined to avoid a dense texture.
- Check your oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure accurate baking.
- Make sure baking powder is fresh and not expired for proper rising.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for best texture and flavor.
