Creamy, Soft, and Impossible to Resist! The Legendary “Catch a Husband” Cake 🍰✨
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep time: 10 minutes | Bake time: 50-60 minutes | Servings: 8-10
Ingredients:
For the Cake Batter:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can whole milk (simply fill your empty 14 oz condensed milk can to measure it!)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Pan & Topping:
- Butter for greasing the pan
- A light dusting of flour or shredded coconut flakes
- Optional Glaze: 1/2 cup coconut milk mixed with 3 tbsp condensed milk, topped with 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut.
Directions:
Step 1: Prep and Preheat
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Thoroughly grease a 9-inch tube pan (bundt pan) or a standard round cake pan with plenty of butter. Dust the inside of the pan lightly with flour or a layer of finely shredded coconut flakes to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
In a high-powered blender, add the eggs, melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and the whole milk. Blend on medium speed for about 1 minute until completely combined.
Step 3: Add the Flour
Stop the blender, add the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and blend again for another 30 to 45 seconds just until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Note for Beginners: Do not panic if the batter looks incredibly thin and watery! It is supposed to look more like a pancake batter or a liquid crĂŞpe mix than a thick cake batter. This high liquid content is exactly what creates that irresistible, custard-like texture.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Pour the liquid batter slowly into your prepared pan. Place it on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
