INGREDIENTS:

For the Cake:

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsalted butter , melted

3 large eggs , room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Glaze (Optional):

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1–2 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Grease and flour an 8×8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 30–35 minutes , or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely

Step 4: Make the Glaze (Optional)

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake for an extra touch of sweetness and elegance.
