How to Make Sweetened Condensed Milk Pound Cake Recipe

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan with solid vegetable shortening and sugar or cake release spray.

Step 2: In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides. Mix to combine.

Step 3: Add condensed milk and beat; stop the mixer, scrape the sides and bottom, and mix until well blended.

Step 4: Add eggs one at a time, beating each one before adding the next. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides. Add almond extract. Mix to combine.

Step 5: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Add one cup at a time to the mixer (on low) and mix until just combined.

Step 6: Spoon batter into prepared pan.

Step 7: Bake 325° for 80 to 90 minutes. Carefully insert a long wooden pick into the centre of the cake. The cake is done when dry crumbs or no crumbs stick to the pick.

Step 8: Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes before inverting it on a tray to cool completely.

Tips for the Best Sweetened Condensed Milk Pound Cake

• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Soft butter and warm eggs mix better. This helps create a smooth batter and even baking.
• Cream Butter and Sugar Well: Beat them until light and fluffy. This adds air to the batter, making the cake soft.
• Sift the Dry Ingredients: This removes lumps and makes the cake texture smooth.
• Bake at 325°F (165°C): A lower temperature helps the cake bake evenly without burning.

Let It Cool Before Slicing: Let it rest for 15 minutes in the pan. This keeps it from breaking and locks in flavour.

Serving Ideas Sweetened Condensed Milk Pound Cake

• Drizzle with Lemon Glaze: A simple mix of powdered sugar and lemon juice adds a fresh, zesty touch.
• Top with Berries & Whipped Cream: Strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries make the cake extra special.
• Chocolate Swirl Twist: Add melted chocolate or cocoa powder to part of the batter for a marbled effect.
• Toasted Coconut or Nuts: Sprinkle on top for a crunchy, nutty flavour.
• Serve with Ice Cream: A warm slice with vanilla or caramel ice cream is pure bliss!
