Cook's Note

Do not open the oven for the first 20 minutes, the batter needs time to set before any cold air can cause it to sink in the center.

Why This Recipe Works

Sour cream keeps the crumb moist, cocoa gives the cake depth, and the cooked condensed milk cream adds a smooth caramel finish with very little work.

Make It Yours

Add a teaspoon of vanilla to the batter for a warmer note. Stir a tablespoon of cocoa into the caramel cream for a deeper flavor. Finish the top with chopped toasted walnuts.
