A few pantry staples are all it takes to whip up one of the tastiest cakes you’ve ever made.
Recipe Ingredients
How to Make Condensed Milk Cake
Preheat oven to 160°C/325°F. Grease a 10-inch cake or bundt pan generously with cooking spray. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar on high in a stand mixture until fluffy and looking white, about 3 minutes. Then, add the condensed milk and mix on high for another minute. (A hand mixer will also work.) (Photo 1) Assemble – Add eggs, one at a time, beating the mixture well between each addition. Sift the flour and baking powder into the batter, and then add the zest, lime juice, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl as you go. (Photos 2-4) Pour the cake batter into the greased pan. Tap it on your work surface to eliminate air bubbles. (Photo 5) Bake at 325℉ (160℃) until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean (45–50 minutes). Transfer to a wire rack. (Photo 6) Serve – Dust the cake with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream and strawberries.

Make-Ahead & Storage Instructions
Condensed milk cake tastes even better the next day. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerate it for up to a week. To freeze the cake, tightly wrap individual slices or the whole cake in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe container or a resealable freezer bag. The cake freezes well for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, thaw slices at room temperature for about 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator. For a quick option, you can also warm slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
