Step 1: Prepare Your Pan
Grease a medium loaf pan or an 8-inch round baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk and eggs until smooth. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla, then whisk again to combine.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Sift in the flour and baking powder. Fold gently using a spatula—just enough to combine without overmixing. This keeps the cake tender.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
Bake at 170°C (340°F) for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
Allow the cake to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
