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!

I had guest over and I wanted to try this recipe I found. Let me tell you I was so pleased. Instead of using a 10×3 cake pan I used two 9×2, also I use lemon instead of lime and the cake came out moist and had great flavor. Everyone was impressed and ended up finishing the the cake. I will definitely use this recipe again.

Ahlan says
This cake was soooooo good! I baked it for about 55-60mins. and only used 1 1/2 tablespoons of the lime zest. Came out PERFECT!
ImmaculateBites says

sunitha says
hi,
nice recipe…is it possible to add some nuts and dried fruits in this cake batter…if so how much can be added?
ImmaculateBites says
Hi Sunitha! I have never tried adding dried fruits to this cake. You can add about half a cup so it does not change the consistency and texture too much. Do let me know how it works out for you!
megha says
I love the look of this recipe and want to try it out soon. Do you think it would work if I skip the lime and add grated carrot and a little crushed pineapple to the mix?
ImmaculateBites says
Yes it would work. Be sure to squeeze out the juice out the carrot, so the cake is not so mushy. Do let us know how it works out.
Rachel says
I made this and it was delicious! The only thing was my cake was a bit soft in the middle. Where did I go wrong? Love your recipes!
ImmaculateBites says
Hello Rachel. I think the cake needed a little more time in the oven. Thanks for stopping by!
Chioma says
Hello Imma.
Thanks for this recipe. I made it last night, it is wonderful. Sooooo soft and tasty.
I used orange juice and zest. I couldn’t find lime or lemon because of the lock-down.
I was worried about the dark sides and bottom though. But when I remembered that yours was dark, I felt alright.
Thanks again.
ImmaculateBites says
Hello Chioma,
Yes it comes out somewhat dark. I really don’t sweat it. So happy it worked out well for you.
Alago Eunice says
Please can you help me convert the 284grams of butter into tablespoon measurement thanks. Wants to bake this cake but the measurements I can use it’s spoon but the sugar too.
Andrea Ahn says
If I did my math correctly it should be 2 1/2 sticks or 20 tablespoons.
Margaret Watson says
Hi I don’t have limes, but I have lemons. Would this work as well?
ImmaculateBites says
Yes it would do just fine.
