Easy Sweetened Condensed Milk Butter Cake Recipe

This Sweetened Condensed Milk Butter Cake is my take on a vintage single layer cake that’s made using condensed milk. This butter laced version was inspired by a local restaurant that serves warm individual size butter cakes drizzled with a seasonal fruit coulis, then topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s so rich and buttery, it simply has to be shared with a friend as it would be a tragedy to leave a crumb behind. This cake is a dense, buttery extravaganza.

How to Make the Best Sweetened Condensed Milk Butter Cake Recipe

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk Butter Cake: Butter, All purpose flour, granulated sugar, sweetened condensed milk, salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, large eggs and berries and cream for serving.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: A stand mixer or a hand mixer, measuring cups and spoons, whisk, a medium bowl, a large bowl, 9 inch springform pan and a cooling rack.
I make this full-size butter cake in a 9-inch springform pan and think it’s prettiest when cut it’s cut into wedges and topped simply with a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh berries and cream. You might also opt to do both.
I’ve used a whisk for years to sift together dry ingredients for baking. It works beautifully.
After baking, it’s quite normal for the center of this cake to settle and indent slightly due to the dense and moisture in the batter. This is normal and the nature of this kind of cake so don’t be alarmed if your cake does this.
This single serving cake is the perfect size for a smaller gathering and is made using pantry ingredients we all typically have on hand. Please note: if you don’t have a springform pan you can use a 9 x 9 inch pan and cut the cake into squares.
I actually make this cake quite often as it’s incredibly versatile and can form the cake base for so many desserts.
Ways to serve homemade Butter Cake: During the holidays, I sometimes add fresh citrus zest to the batter and top it with lemon curd, whipped cream and candied lemon lemon peel. And just like that, you’ve got the star of the holiday dessert table. You can serve with the center filled with pastry cream in place of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel.
Store baked Sweetened Condensed Milk Butter Cake chilled in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
