Description

This 4-Ingredient Condensed Milk Cake is a simple, sweet, and fluffy treat passed down through generations. Made with just eggs, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, salt, and self-rising flour, it’s incredibly easy to whip up and endlessly customizable. Perfect for dessert or a snack, this cake is moist, tender, and golden baked to perfection in an 8×8-inch pan.

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) self-rising flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cake evenly.
  2. Prepare the Pan: Spray an 8×8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line it with parchment paper, leaving the excess hanging over two sides for easy cake removal later.
  3. Beat the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, add the 4 eggs and beat vigorously with a whisk or hand mixer until the mixture becomes frothy and light, about 1 minute.
  4. Add Condensed Milk and Flavorings: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat again until everything is well combined, approximately 30 seconds.
  5. Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add the self-rising flour to the wet mixture. Whisk carefully until there are no dry pockets left and the batter is smooth.
  6. Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cake surface turns deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, using the parchment overhang, lift the cake out and place it onto a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  8. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the cake into 9 servings. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat.
  9. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerate for up to 5 days. If chilled, bring the cake back to room temperature before serving for best taste.

Notes

  • For easy removal, lining the pan with parchment paper that hangs over the edges is crucial.
  • You can customize this cake by adding citrus zest or spices to the batter.
  • Make sure to fully cool the cake before slicing to preserve texture and prevent crumbling.
  • Leftovers can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated to extend freshness.
  • Use self-rising flour; if not available, mix all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt accordingly.
