Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free version)
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare your baking pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan properly with butter or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to break up clumps and ensure even distribution.
  4. Incorporate dry into wet: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently to avoid overmixing, which could result in a dense cake. Stir just until everything is combined and smooth.
  5. Bake with care: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing out the top evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool before serving: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, helping maintain the perfect texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and butter for smoother mixing and better texture.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep the cake light and airy and avoid toughness.
  • Choose a high-quality sweetened condensed milk to enhance the flavor and creaminess.
  • Start checking the cake 5 minutes before the minimum bake time to prevent drying out.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing to ensure proper setting and ease of cutting.
