Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (lechera)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) Optional for added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a round or square baking pan with butter.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  4. Create a well in the dry ingredients, then add sweetened condensed milk, milk, and melted butter. Add vanilla extract if using. Mix until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter to the greased baking pan and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Cooling
  1. Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store at room temperature for 2-3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped slices for up to three months.
