Condensed Milk Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for extra richness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan (or you can line it with parchment paper for easy removal).

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer or whisk.

   • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until the mixture is well combined.

3. Add Dry Ingredients:

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients.

   • Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

4. Bake:

   • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

   • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

5. Cool:

   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Serve:

   • Once cooled, you can serve the cake as is or dust it with powdered sugar for a simple finish.

   • For an extra treat, top with whipped cream or fresh fruit.

Tips:

• Flavor Variations: You can add lemon zest or orange zest for a citrus twist or a bit of cinnamon for added warmth.

• Frosting Options: While the cake is moist enough on its own, you can also top it with a simple frosting like cream cheese frosting or chocolate ganache if desired.

• Storage: The cake can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the fridge for about 5 days.

This Condensed Milk Cake is sweet, moist, and incredibly easy to make. It’s a perfect dessert for any time you want something simple but delicious! Enjoy!
