Very Easy Milky Girl Cake Recipe

Milky Girl Cake is a very simple cake recipe that consists of thin sweetened condensed milk layers with a sour cream frosting. I chose this particular frosting for this cake to cut down on the sweetness of the cake. I am not a fan of super sweet desserts so it is important for me to want another slice of cake rather then feeling full after the first bite.

This cake is very forgiving and will work with any frosting you come up with as well as adding fresh fruit in between the layers if you love fruity cakes.

Milky girl cake is not the same as tres leches cake. Tres leches means “three milks” in Spanish, where a simple vanilla sponge cake is made with 3 different milks. Milky girl is a layer cake recipe that only calls for condensed milk with no soaking required. The sour cream frosting has enough moisture to moisten each layer of the cake and have a moist semi sweet outcome.

Ingredients for Milky Girl cake batter:

• 1 can Sweetened condensed milk (14oz)
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup All purpose Flour
• 1.5tsp Baking Powder
• Pinch of Salt

How to make Milky Girl Cake Batter:

1. Add 1 can of condensed milk into a mixing bowl, add 3 eggs, mix with a whisk or a stand mixer to combine.

2. In a separate bowl mix together 1 cup of flour and 1.5tsp of baking powder and a little salt (pinch). Then, add the dry ingredients mixture to the egg mixture and mix again until the flour is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.

3. On a parchment paper draw 9″ circles to use as a guide OR use the spring form cake pan itself. (I find using the spring form edge much easier and faster. It saves you time drawing circles, plus the form creates clean even edges). Add 2 heaping tablespoons of the cake batter into the center of the circle or form and spread equally into a thin layer. Repeat this until you use up all the batter. 

Side Note: Use a large baking sheet to fit 2 layers, it will speed up the baking process.

4. Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes or until the layers are golden.

5. Remove the layers from the parchment paper immediately and set aside to cool.

Ingredients for the sour cream frosting:

• 24oz Sour Cream
• 1 8oz pack of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
• 3/4 can Sweetened condensed milk (14oz can)
• 8oz Extra creamy Cool Whip

Make the frosting:

In a stand mixer cream 1 package of cream cheese until it is lump-free, then add condensed milk, cream again to combine. Once combined add the sour cream and the cool whip. Whip on med-high for a few minutes until the frosting firms up. (has stiff peaks)

6. Once you have completely cooled cakes, assemble the cake on a cake stand or cake boards starting with a dollop of cream on the bottom to protect the cake from moving around, then alternate the layers with the cream adding enough cream to double the thickness of the cake layers. (about 4 tablespoons on each layer)

7. Decorate the cake to your preference. My cake decorating skills need a lot of help so i keep it to a minimum 🙂

I crumb coated and refrigerated until the cream was set. Then, separately i whipped Heavy cream with powdered sugar and coated the cake smoothing out the edges of the cake and top of the cake. (best ways to hide all the imperfections) Topped off with dehydrated oranges and greenery.
