Ingredients
Blend everything in a blender:

• 2 tablespoons margarine (melted)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (without baking powder)
Ingredient Breakdown
Sweetened Condensed Milk
Adds:
- Rich sweetness
- Creamy texture
- Moist crumb
It’s the key ingredient that makes this cake soft and slightly custardy.
Eggs
Provide structure and help bind the batter together while keeping it fluffy.
Sugar
Enhances sweetness and gives the cake a golden finish.
Milk
Creates a smooth, pourable batter and gives the cake a soft interior.
Margarine
Adds moisture and tenderness. You can substitute with butter if preferred.
All-Purpose Flour
Provides structure and body. Since there is no baking powder, the texture remains slightly dense — similar to a milk cake.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease a medium baking dish (9×13 inch or similar) with butter or margarine.
Step 2: Blend the Batter
Add to a blender:
- Condensed milk
- Eggs
- Sugar
- Milk
- Melted margarine
- Flour
Blend for about 1–2 minutes until completely smooth.
The batter will be thin — that’s normal.
Step 3: Pour into Pan
Pour the blended mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until:
- The top is lightly golden
- The center is set
- A toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean
The texture will be soft and slightly creamy inside.
Step 5: Cool & Serve
Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
