Condensed Milk Cake — Quick, tender and easy cake that will impress at the dinner table or a party without you slaving away in the kitchen.

Condensed Milk Cake

Do you have a can of condensed milk in the pantry? Then turn it into something delectable like this cake here.

Condensed milk cake is definitely one of those desserts that requires minimal ingredients and preparation.

I don’t know about you but I look forward to sweets at the end of a meal. They have a magical way of balancing out the taste buds so we can reach ultimate satisfaction.

Condensed Milk Cake

This condensed milk cake is similar to pound cake but has a lot more to offer. It is light and moist making every bite better than the last with a fabulous taste.

Condensed milk cake

Although sweetened with only a can of condensed milk, you will be pleasantly surprised by the level of sweetness. The cake isn’t overly sweet making it even easier to indulge in 2 or 3 slices – paired with strawberries and whipped cream — it’s heavenly.

Condensed milk cake

Every bite has great texture and your taste buds are soon hit with this rich, milky flavor and then you are ready to experience the deliciousness all over again. Guess what? You can have it for breakfast too! Or serve with some tea.

Condensed Milk Cake

Unfortunately, many think using condensed milk in desserts will overwhelm it. Au contraire condensed milk enhances.

Try this cake for yourself. It will not disappoint.

Enjoy!

    How do you store the cake? I just baked it now, but it’s for a party tomorrow. I don’t want it to be dry!

      You can store it covered on a cake plate, then add the toppings when you’re ready to serve.

    Hi. Thanks for sharing this recipe. One question, can I substitute butter with margarine? Thank you.

      Hi, Lani. I haven’t tried that for this recipe, but I don’t see why you can’t. But there’ll be a difference with the texture and, of course, that buttery flavor.

    Imma,
    YUM! Moist and tender and easy!
    I am looking for a recipes to make a dent in my Costco stash of sweetened condensed milk.
    This is cake is absolutely delicious! I served it with some slightly sweetened macerated strawberries on top and slightly sweetened whipped cream mixed with a bit of sour cream.
    t was an impressive and unique company make-ahead dessert.
    Thank you ever so much!

    This was one of the easiest and the yummiest condensed milk cake recipe to make. Every time I made this it came out delicious and the aroma of lemon zest was soulful. The children loved it 🙂

    Good recipe but do you really mean 2-3 Tablespoons of Lime zest? Sounds like far too much so used zest of one Lime. You don’t mention salt. Next time I’ll try caster sugar to see whether the texture is different. another test will be using 200g plain flour and 50g cornflour.

    Thank you for the amazing recipe! It is a tried and true favorite now. The texture and crumb to this cake is melt in your mouth and the use of condensed milk separates it from the rest of the basic cake recipes found online.

        What happens if I skip the lime zest and lime juice?

        Hi, Jim. Adding lime zest and juice somehow adds a nice zing to this milk cake. But feel free to leave it out.
