This easy condensed milk cake is soft, moist, buttery, and perfectly sweet. Made with simple ingredients, it’s a delicious homemade dessert for afternoon coffee, family gatherings, or any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and milk until the wet mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for approximately 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the cooled cake and serve plain or with powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries, or your favorite dessert topping.
Notes
- Use room-temperature butter and eggs for a smoother batter.
- Do not overmix after adding the flour, as this can make the cake less tender.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the cake soft and moist.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
- Freeze individual slices for up to 2–3 months.
- Reheat a slice in the microwave for about 10–15 seconds before serving.
