Ingredients
(Serves 6–8)
- 1 can of condensed milk (395 g)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup wheat flour (all-purpose flour works too)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ cup melted butter
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) .
- Grease a round or square cake pan (approximately 8×8 inches) and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed milk , eggs , and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
- Sift the wheat flour and baking powder into the wet mixture to avoid lumps.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or whisk. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
Step 4: Pour the Batter into the Pan
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles and ensure the batter is evenly spread.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes , or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If the top of the cake begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness, if desired.
Tips for Success
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Flavor Variations: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or citrus zest (like lemon or orange) to the batter for a hint of extra flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair slices of this cake with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the wheat flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for a gluten-free version.
