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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

hi there
i want to ask if i omit the sugar at all, will it affect the taste as the milk is already tooooo sweet.
a week ago i made this this cake but without eggs with one cup of flour and 397 gm tin of condensed milk.
cake was very delicious but it was very very sweet.
can u suggest if i follow ur recipe as it is except sugar, will it affect?
thanks
ImmaculateBites says
You can certainly cut down on the sugar . I have not tried it without sugar so I can’t say for sure . If you do, please let me know how it turns out . Thanks
Maria says
Made this cake today for school project for my grandson and it is very good .Cake was so moist baked two cakes one for school and one to try out .Will definitely bake again .
Ling says
Thank you! Just baked this cake and followed your recipe exactly! It was perfect! I baked it in a bundt pan and paired it with quartered strawberries soaked in rum and sugar and whip cream . Very easy to assemble — the cake is dense and buttery. Next time, I think I will cut down the sugar to 1/4 cup because I prefer it less sweet. Looking forward to serving this at dinner parties or bringing it to brunch or luncheons with groups of friends.
ImmaculateBites says
Fantastic! Thanks for letting me know
Anastasya says
This cake looks delicious and I will be making it tomorrow! Any way for the eggs to be left out? Anything I can use as a substitute for the eggs?
Anastasya says
Also, any recommendations for a good buttercream frosting? Would a chocolate frosting go well with the cake flavors?
ImmaculateBites says
I don’t see why not. I had some with Nutella and it was really tasty.
ImmaculateBites says
I can’t say for sure. Have always made it with eggs.
SKM says
I made this cake today and other was delicious!! Moist, lots of flavor… I added lime extract and almond flavor. The cake came out perfectly, my family ate half of it in one sitting. Thanks Imma for the recipe.
ImmaculateBites says

Hmm,
Looking forward to making this, but at around 600 calories per slice, will.not be going back for seconds or thirds!
ImmaculateBites says
It is worth every single bite!!!! You are going to love it.
Zee says
Looks delish. Are the eggs beaten before adding them? Thanks
ImmaculateBites says
No you can just add the eggs without beating. It works just fine.

ImmaculateBites says
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!
Dorothy at Shockingly Delicious says
Hi…this looks GREAT!
QUESTION: Is there any cream in it? The directions in the recipe say to add the condensed milk and cream, but I don’t see cream in the list of ingredients.
Thanks. I want to make this!
ImmaculateBites says
No. There is no cream. Just continue mixing/creaming for another minute.
Amy says
Is it ok to use sweetened condensed milk ?
ImmaculateBites says
Yes, that is what I used.
Tendai says
Thanks!
Tendai says
Hi, quick question. Thinking of making this for my toddler’s themed cake. What icing or frosting do you suggest? If love cream cheese icing and buttercream….which one do you think would work best, if at all?!
Thanks much!
ImmaculateBites says
You can’t go wrong with either. However, since kids are going to be involved I would go with buttercream. It’s sweeter and goes well with any cake. Cream cheese has a tang to it.
Lorraine Cazarrubias says
Can the lime juice and zest be omitted
ImmaculateBites says
Of Course! It’s just for added flavor.
Bethany C. says
Really enjoyed making the cake. It was not as fluffy as I expected, but it had a fabulous taste! I used raspberries instead of strawberries and it also went well. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
