Wow, almost a week without a new recipe around here... You guys must be bored to tears with my crepe photo. :)
A stomach flu kept me away from cooking, posting and reading my favorite blogs. But now I’m feeling well again – thanks to tons of medicine and rest – and eager to go to the kitchen.
This is something I baked before I got sick; you know I can’t resist recipes with sweetened condensed milk – right, Lynn? – and the thought of a cake made with it instead of sugar was too good for me to pass.
It’s a very light and sort of spongy cake. No decadent fillings or icings – just a simple cake, to be enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea. Or a glass of orange juice on a hot day.
Sweetened condensed milk cake
from a Brazilian cookbook
1 can (395g) sweetened condensed milk
4 eggs
120g all purpose flour
½ tablespoon baking powder
50g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
icing sugar, for dusting
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF; generously butter a 22cm* (9in) ring cake pan.
Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until risen and a skewer inserted in the cake comes out clean (my cake took 35 minutes to bake).
Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely before unmolding.
Dust with icing sugar before serving.
* I used a 20cm (8 in) pan.
Serves 10-12

Glad you're feeling better!
I love the simple sorts of cakes. This looks like a goody.
Hey, welcome back! I hope you've fully recovered by now :)
Oh, you know I absolutely LOVE sweetened condensed milk. (Must be that microscopic bit of South American blood running through my veins ;) You know, it may not need icing, but a nice drizzle of condensed milk would not be unwelcome, yeah!!!!
So glad you are feeling better!
Wow--this cake looks so white and pretty! I, too, love sweetened condensed milk. I think I could probably just drink it straight out of the can...
Glad to see you are feeling better. I just got a ring pan so this looks great!
Happy to hear you are feeling better!! :-) This cake sounds delicious, I am trying to imagine if it has a sweet condensed milky scent...
Glad you're feeling better, and that you're baking again! My husband is a sweetened condensed milk fan, and he will love this cake.

I just bought four cans of it because it was on sale. With the impending holidays I will use it and I will try this recipe.
Sorry to hear about the stomach flu but good to hear you feel better.
Love the idea of using scm like this! The cake looks very delicate.
Sweetened condensed milk is extremely popular over here too! And I have to admit, I love cake recipes that say "put everything in a big bowl and mix" :)
Oh no fun! The stomach flu...boo. But yay for that cake. It sounds yummy.

That kind of cake is just beautiful. Simple, yet it's quite elegant too. I'm intrigued at the difference the sweetened condensed milk makes in the cake, compared to one made with sugar. I'll have to try it to see, right? I'm glad you're feeling better and well rested. :)

Hi, dearie! I am, thank you!
Mark, I am! 100% better, thank you, my friend!
You'd be delighted here, tons of our recipes include this wonderful ingredient... ;)
Sarah, thank you! And I have done that. I don't keep the stuff around the house, otherwise I'll attack the can in a moment of weakness. I'll only buy it when making a recipe that calls for it. :D
Katie, thank you! You have lots of new gadgets, I know. Great ones! :)

Patricia, I'm tickled to know you're recovering nicely.
Btw, I'm also a SCM and pound cake devotee. So, that cake has my name written all over it. Oh, to be able to reach in through the monitor and nab that plate.
Would it be a good batter for cupcakes do you think?
I am totally with you with the condensed milk!! I keep on buying cans of it yet not doing anything with it though. This cake looks so good and easy! I will definitely make it soon.
I think I would looooove this cake!
It looks so good.
That looks like an utterly delicious and totally comforting cake, Patricia!
strangely when i made this as cupcakes they came out rubbery !
simply258: i got the same rubbery texture as u! i made it as a bundt cake! it might be becos i didnt beat the eggs long enuff? but it smelt soo great, my boyfriend ate it up!
Now, this is something dangerous! I mostly bake for others but I'm so afraid if I made this I'd eat it all by my lonesome. Whoa baby!
This cake looks so simple and sabroso, I'm gonna try it right away!
I'm a huge fan of condensed milk and dulce de leche!!
hugs from Shanghai!
i found this cake to be kind of eggy and, despite using cake flour and being careful not to overmix, a bit chewy/tough. it might work in strawberry shortcake, but i can't see myself making this again.
Hi. Just wanted to say I tried this cake, and it turned out fantastic. My kids and husband devoured it. Love your blog. I always come here for inspiration.
Nice, wil be great with custard for a pudding
I tried this cake. The taste was fabulous. However, the texture was quite heavy and dense. It didn't rise and didn't look as nice as your. Is it supposed to be like this? When you mix all ingredients together, do you use an electric mixer to beat?
That said, I love this cake!
