Preparation
Step 1
Combined cooked condensed milk, 1/2 stick softened butter and 1 tsp lemon juice in the electric stand mixer and whisk attachment. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
Step 2
Spread cream on the wafers, making sure to reach the edges. Don’t be concerned with filling each square or you will have too much frosting on the cake. 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.
Step 3
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.

Chef's notes
This Ukrainian waffle cake is a cinch! It’s so easy, I bet you could make it simply by viewing the pictures. This is also the favorite dessert of every child in my family.
Waffle Cakes are made with cooked, sweetened condensed milk (i.e. dulce de leche) that is spread onto pre-made wafer sheets and sliced into bite-sized squares or diamonds. These are a hit at all of our holiday parties, weddings, or any gathering really.
