A simple, irresistibly creamy cake made with just a few pantry ingredients. This dessert bakes with a lightly caramelized top and a rich, dense texture similar to a soft flan. Perfect for when you want a quick homemade treat that tastes incredibly indulgent.
📝 Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
Optional for extra flavor:
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon melted butter (for a softer crumb)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until slightly frothy.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth and fully combined.
3️⃣ Add the Dry Ingredient
Gradually sift in the flour, stirring gently as you mix to avoid lumps. Continue mixing until you get a smooth, thick batter.
If using, stir in vanilla extract and melted butter for extra flavor.
4️⃣ Pour and Level
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles and level the batter.
5️⃣ Bake the Cake
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top becomes lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6️⃣ Cool the Cake
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7️⃣ Slice and Serve
Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. The texture will be soft, dense, and slightly custard-like, making it perfect with coffee or tea.
