🍰 The Best Condensed Milk Cake
Easy, moist, and bursting with sweetness!
🛒 Ingredients
⅓ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
⅓ cup powdered (icing) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup milk
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line it with baking paper for easy removal.
Mix wet ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, condensed milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add dry ingredients:
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda to the wet mixture. This helps to avoid lumps and ensures a light cake.
Add milk:
Gradually pour in the milk while gently mixing. Stir until you have a smooth, pourable batter.
Bake:
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve plain or dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with condensed milk, or top with fresh fruit.
💡 Tips for Best Results
Don’t overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the cake light and tender.
You can add citrus zest (like lemon or orange) for a fresh twist.
Use full-fat milk for richer flavor.
Try topping with whipped cream or a simple glaze for extra sweetness.
