This recipe for VE Day Condensed Milk Cake is my slightly adapted version of the original recipe which was published in The Ministry of Food leaflet 21, "Making the Most of Sugar" from December 1946. The original cake is simply called Condensed Milk Cake, but as we approach the 75th anniversary of VE Day, I thought it would be a lovely addition to any VE Day celebrations. It's a very easy cake recipe and uses condensed milk in place of sugar, with very little fat added to the cake too. It's a light fruit cake which is very moist, and is also lovely when sliced and buttered. Condensed milk cakes were very popular during the second world war, as they took the place of sugar, and sometimes eggs and fat, although this cake recipe does have eggs in it. My mum used to make a celebration fruit cake at Christmas time with a tin of condensed milk, and we all used to love it.
