Condensed Milk Cake Recipe

Condensed milk brings me memories of childhood days when the taste of something sweet (ok, very sweet) came without the guilt of ingesting too much sugar. I used to love eating condensed milk by the spoon...

Oh well, back to the present: a while ago I bought a can of condensed milk as part of the list of ingredients for a cake recipe I wanted to try...only to find out later that the condensed milk was only necessary for the cake frosting. Now, I usually only add frosting to cakes for birthday parties and other special occasions, so that particular cake stayed frostless (is that even a word?). And the can of condensed milk lived in the back of my pantry until I came up with a recipe to use it.

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1 can of condensed milk
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup of butter or margarine
• 1 cup of flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions:

Mix sugar and butter/margarine and and then add the eggs and the condensed milk. Once you have a soft, uniform batter, add the rest of the ingredients, pour everything onto a greased cake pan and bake for for about 30 minutes.

The recipe worked just fine, and the cake turned out delicious and moist on the inside. Maybe next time I'll go a bit easier on the top heat, to keep if from turning so brown, though. But in what concerns taste? It's just perfect.

Happy Tuesday,
