Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sweetened Condensed Milk
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Gradually add the Eagle Brand milk, beating continuously until smooth and creamy. This combination gives the cake its signature richness and moist texture.
Step 4: Add Eggs and Extracts
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps the cake maintain a light, airy structure.
- Mix in vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon zest until evenly incorporated. These flavors elevate the cake from ordinary to extraordinary.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Avoid overmixing—this ensures a tender, fluffy crumb.
- If using, fold in shredded coconut for extra texture and a tropical hint.
Step 6: Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 70–80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: Optional Glaze or Dusting
- For an elegant finish, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a lemon glaze.
- Serve with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Tips for Success
- Room temperature ingredients are key for a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Don’t rush the cooling process; this ensures the cake slices cleanly.
- For extra height and softness, gently fold the beaten eggs into the batter instead of using a mixer.
Why This Cake Stands Out
The combination of Eagle Brand milk with the aromatic flavors of vanilla, lemon, almond, and coconut makes this cake truly memorable. Its tall, fluffy structure earns it the “Mile High” title, while the moist, rich texture keeps everyone coming back for more. Whether for a holiday, celebration, or a cozy weekend treat, this cake is guaranteed to impress.
