Ukrainian Waffle Cake with Dulce de Leche
This dessert features layers of plain wafers filled with a creamy mixture made from cooked sweetened condensed milk, butter, and lemon juice. The combination creates a mildly sweet, rich, and smooth cream that binds the crisp wafers into a tender cake. The layers soften slightly when pressed, giving the cake a balanced texture between crispness and creaminess. It’s a straightforward no-bake treat that sets in a few hours, making it practical for preparing ahead.

Ingredients
- 1 plain wafers 9 layers, 9-inch diameter, round or square
- 1 sweetened condensed milk 14 oz can, cooked
- 1/2 butter softened, unsalted, stick
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Combined cooked condensed milk, 1/2 stick softened butter and 1 tsp lemon juice. Beat them on high speed for 3 minutes.
- Spread cream on the wafers, making sure to reach the edges. Just put enough to have the layers stick. You may make 2 skinny cakes or 1 tall one. They do stack nicely when they aren't as tall.
- Place cake under a heavy cutting board or make a press using a cutting board with a bowl of water on top. Let it sit under the press at least 2 hours. Then, slice it up and serve.
