The dough for a cake with condensed milk and nuts can be prepared as simple as sponge cake, or more complex, depending on preferences and circumstances. For example, if guests are on the doorstep, then biscuit dough, the preparation of which will take a few minutes, will become a “lifesaver” in this situation.
Condensed milk is considered one of the most successful and delicious options for creams and fillings, since this ingredient tends to soak cakes of any thickness well. In addition, if the preparation technology is followed, the cream based on condensed milk turns out to be tender and airy, not to mention its taste.
However, it is worth remembering that excessive indulgence in cakes with condensed milk, and even more so with walnuts, can greatly harm your figure. Although, from a medical point of view, condensed milk is a useful and easily digestible product.

And a lot is known about the benefits of walnuts: from antibacterial and bactericidal effects to the prevention of cancer.

Or you can make a nut cake filled with condensed milk mixed with pieces of dried apricots or prunes.
