Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter and lightly dust it with flour to prevent sticking and ensure easy release.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing well until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure even distribution and a light texture.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently but thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free batter without overmixing.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps it set so you can slice and serve without crumbling.

Notes

  • Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth batter and even baking.
  • Use fresh baking powder to guarantee proper rising.
  • Gently fold dry ingredients to keep the cake tender and light; avoid overmixing.
  • Start checking the cake at 30 minutes to prevent overbaking as ovens vary.
  • Cool the cake slightly before cutting to keep slices neat and prevent crumbling.
