Bake a very moist and sweet cake using only four basic pantry ingredients. This recipe requires no mixer and yields a tender crumb.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk and eggs together until fully combined.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a slight citrus flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the batter.
  • This cake freezes well when wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to three months.
  • If you prefer a coffee cake style, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar mixed with a pinch of cinnamon.
