Condensed Milk Cake-Quick, Tender and easy Cake that will impress at the dinner table or a party without you slaving in the kitchen.
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 and 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.
This condensed milk 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.
Although sweetened with quite a can of condensed milk, you will be pleasantly surprised by the level of sweetness. The cake isn’t overly sweet making it all the easier to indulge in 2 or 3 slices- paired with strawberries and whipped cream and it’s heavenly.
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.
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!

I am planning to make this cake for a Global Insights meeting about Africa and this came up as an African dessert. My question is how many eggs do you actually use? The recipe says 5, but the video only shows 2 being incorporated. Which is it?
It’s. 5 eggs.

Hi Imma
I made the cake and it was amazing. But my cake did not come down level. The middle was sunken
So sorry to hear about your cake not cooking properly in the middle. Next time try reducing the oven temperature. You might want to cover the cake top with a foil paper, about 30 minutes or more into the cooking, to prevent it from browning too fast . The goal is to let the cake cook in the middle without the exterior browning too fast .Also refrain from opening the oven, too many times when baking . Only start checking towards the end.
