Creamy Milk Cake

If you love creamy, easy, and irresistible cakes, try the Milk Cake. Its soft, pudding-like texture delights from the first bite. See below the list of all ingredients and required quantities. And then, a very complete preparation method with details of the recipe.

Ingredients:

3 eggs

200 ml coconut milk (6.8 fl oz)

500 ml milk (16.9 fl oz)

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 Small cup with condensed milk

1 cup all-purpose flour (4.9 oz / 140g)

3 tablespoons sugar (optional)

Instructions:

First, blend the eggs, butter, condensed milk, and coconut milk in a blender until smooth.

Then, add the milk and, optionally, three tablespoons of sugar.

Next, add the flour and blend again until all ingredients are well combined.

After that, grease a glass baking dish with butter and flour. Then, pour the batter into the prepared dish.

Soon after, place the glass baking dish in a larger pan with hot water for a water bath.

Finally, bake in a preheated oven at 356 °F (180 °C) for about 45 minutes.

At last, let it cool before cutting.

Tips and Tricks:

Use Room-Temperature Eggs and Milk:

Helps achieve a fluffier, more stable sponge for soaking.

Don’t Overmix the Batter:

Gently fold to avoid deflating air from whipped eggs. This makes the cake airy and better at absorbing milk.

Poke Holes While Cake Is Warm:

Use a skewer or fork to poke holes throughout the cake to ensure the milk mixture absorbs evenly.

Let It Soak Overnight (If Possible):

Refrigerating it for 6–8 hours (or overnight) allows the milk to fully penetrate the cake, creating that iconic creamy texture.

Use a Milk Trio:

Combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk or cream for an ultra-luxurious taste.

Add Flavors:

Enhance the milk mix with vanilla, rose water, saffron, or cardamom for extra aroma.

Whipped Topping Stability Tip:

Add a spoon of cream cheese or gelatin to stabilize whipped cream if serving at room temperature.

Air Fryer Tip:

Bake in a greased, shallow metal pan that fits inside your air fryer basket at 160°C (320°F) for 18–22 minutes. Use foil on top to prevent over-browning.

Serving Suggestions:

Classic Style: Serve chilled with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg.

Fresh Fruit: Top with sliced strawberries, mango, or blueberries for a fruity balance.

Garnish Ideas:

Crushed pistachios or almonds

Shredded coconut

Edible rose petals

Caramel drizzle or chocolate shavings

With Hot Beverages: Pair with chai, coffee, or a glass of warm milk.
