Irresistibly Creamy and Soft Chilled Cake

This irresistibly creamy and soft chilled cake comes straight from Brazilian home baking, where the combination of simple recipes and plenty of care creates desserts full of flavor.

It has a sweet and velvety profile, with notes of milk and, if you go for the chocolate version, a deep hint of cocoa. What makes it special is the moist and creamy texture you feel in every slice, and the fact that it’s made without an oven and with just a few ingredients — perfect for hot days or whenever you want something quick and delicious, a great option among no-bake frozen desserts.

In this simple version, eggs and flour give a light body, sugar adds sweetness, and butter brings flavor and softness, while milk and condensed milk deliver creaminess and that classic sweet taste that melts in your mouth. Cocoa powder brings chocolate depth when you want that version; for other chocolate dessert ideas, check out options like the easy chocolate mousse or the traditional chocolate cake. Baking powder ensures a light and airy result. To finish, heavy cream makes everything even more velvety, and a topping of shredded coconut or chocolate sprinkles adds a contrast in texture and an irresistible final touch.

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup (200 g) sugar
3/4 cup (170 g) melted butter
1/2 can (200 g) condensed milk (for the batter)
1/2 can (200 g) condensed milk (for soaking)
1 cup (240 ml) milk
2 cups (260 g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder (15 g)
1 pinch of salt
1/2 cup (50 g) cocoa powder (optional — use for the chocolate version)
1 small carton (200 g) heavy cream (to make it creamy)
50–100 g shredded coconut or chocolate sprinkles for topping

Instructions

Grease a medium rectangular pan with butter and dust with flour. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the eggs, sugar, melted butter, 1/2 can of condensed milk, and milk. Blend until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour and pinch of salt. If making the chocolate version, add the cocoa powder and mix well.
Finally, fold in the baking powder with a spoon, stirring gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Microwave on high power for 10–12 minutes — for other quick microwave recipes with a similar prep time, check out this chocolate mug cake. Time may vary depending on your microwave; do the toothpick test — it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Remove from the microwave and let cool until just warm.
In a bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 can of condensed milk with the heavy cream and a little milk (if you want it more liquid, add 2–4 tablespoons of milk). Stir until smooth.
Poke the entire surface of the cake with a fork or toothpick and pour the mixture over it, spreading well so the cake absorbs it.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until well chilled and creamy.
When ready to serve, sprinkle shredded coconut or chocolate sprinkles on top.

Tips: If using a conventional oven, bake in a 8×12 inch (20×30 cm) pan at 350°F (180°C) for 25–30 minutes. Adjust time as needed. This cake tastes best served well chilled.

Ingredient Highlights

This cake uses eggs and milk, which provide protein and calcium. Cocoa (if used) contains antioxidants. Butter and condensed milk add flavor and creaminess, but are high in fat and sugar, so enjoy in moderation. Shredded coconut adds fiber and a contrast in texture.

Yield: About 12 medium slices. Great for hot days, family gatherings, parties, afternoon snacks, or whenever you want a quick, creamy, and easy no-bake dessert.
