This 4-Ingredient Condensed Milk Cake is an easy-to-make, moist, and flavorful dessert perfect for any occasion. With minimal ingredients and simple steps, it delivers a rich vanilla sweetness and a tender crumb, ideal for serving alongside coffee or tea.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake

  • Nonstick cooking spray, as needed
  • 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: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch square baking pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray and lining it with parchment paper, allowing the excess to hang over two sides for easy cake removal later.
  2. Beat the eggs: Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk them vigorously by hand or with a mixer until they become frothy, approximately 1 minute.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the beaten eggs and whisk again until fully incorporated and smooth, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the flour: Gradually add the self-rising flour into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter with no pockets of dry flour.
  5. Bake the cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Use the parchment sling to lift the cake out and transfer it to a wire rack. Let it cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  7. Slice and serve: Once fully cooled, slice the cake and serve it warm or at room temperature, perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
  8. Storage: Store any 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 to room temperature before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Using self-rising flour eliminates the need for baking powder or baking soda.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper overhang for easy removal of the cake without breaking.
  • The cake is best enjoyed within a few days for optimal freshness.
  • Allowing the cake to come to room temperature after refrigeration improves texture and flavor.
  • This recipe can be doubled but requires a larger pan and adjusted baking time.
