1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 package (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, beat sugar, cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed, until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Beat in flour, eggs and baking powder until thoroughly combined. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until golden brown. A wooden pick inserted in the center should come out clean. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before removing from pan.
Sift powdered sugar over cake while still warm. Cool on wire rack.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
