Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

reviews & comments
I submitted a review and thought that I would add (since I donât think I can edit it) that maybe my results werenât as good because I just mixed the cake mix by hand in a bowl and did not beat it for the full three minutes to be honest. Maybe somebody in the moderation department can add that to my previous comment.

I did this for Christmas Eve 2022. It was very pretty but my cake was a little dense I ended up flipping it flan side down and treating it like a tres Leche cake pouring about 3/4 cup of 3 types of milk over it after poking with a skewer. I then topped it with sweetened whipped cream and it was much better.

This is a rich and delicious dessert. I wasn't sure how the layers would end up but it's got a flan layer and a cake layer but the cake is very moist and it's all just amazing.
