🍰 Creamy Milk Cake Recipe
🌸 Introduction
The Creamy Milk Cake, often called a cousin of Tres Leches Cake, is a soft, moist, and melt-in-your-mouth dessert made with just a handful of ingredients. What makes it special is its rich soaking of sweetened milk, which transforms a simple sponge into a luxurious treat. With only 6 simple ingredients, it is easy enough for beginners, yet elegant enough for special gatherings. This cake is loved worldwide for its creamy texture and delicate flavor.
🥛 Ingredients (6 Simple Ones)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
(Optional for garnish: whipped cream, sliced strawberries, or cocoa powder)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a rectangular baking dish.
- Prepare the sponge: In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Sift in flour and baking powder, fold gently to keep it airy.
- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Prepare the creamy soak: In a bowl, whisk together whole milk and condensed milk until smooth.
- Soak the cake: Once the cake is baked and cooled slightly, poke holes all over it with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly across the cake, allowing it to absorb.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (or overnight for best results). Garnish with whipped cream and fruit if desired.
🥄 Methods
- Whisking method: Whipping eggs and sugar until airy ensures a light sponge.
- Soaking method: Pouring milk slowly and evenly helps the cake absorb fully without breaking apart.
- Chilling method: Cooling enhances the flavor and texture, making the cake moist and creamy.
