It’s no secret that we’re fans of all things sweet over here at Scrumdiddlyumptious. Ice cream, cakes, muffins, cupcakes, pudding and all that good stuff are welcome at our table. Recently, we have developed a banana condensed milk cake and were more than thrilled with the results. It combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the creamy richness of condensed milk to create an irresistibly moist cake, suitable for both beginners and experienced bakers alike. Discover the recipe below.
An Easy Recipe for Banana Condensed Milk Cake
The magic of this recipe lies in its simplicity. All you need are ripe bananas, which you mash with a fork, sweet condensed milk, which gives the cake its characteristic moistness, as well as eggs, flour, sugar, butter, and some baking powder to make the batter. Optionally, you can add vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, or a pinch of cinnamon to refine the cake’s flavor.
To prepare the cake, all you need to do is mix all the ingredients into a smooth batter and pour it into a springform pan. Now all that’s left is popping the cake into the oven for 45 minutes. Once ready, let it properly cool and cover it with a lemon glaze.
Banana cakes are also a great way to use overripe bananas. They make the batter especially moist and aromatic. Plus, thanks to their natural sweetness, you often need to use less refined sugar in baked goods with bananas.
The aroma that fills the whole kitchen when baking this banana condensed milk cake always makes my mouth water and I can hardly wait for the first slice.
