Sweetened Condensed Milk Pound Cake is a rich, moist, and buttery cake. Traditional pound cake ingredients are used with the addition of sweetened condensed milk.

This pound cake is ridiculously good! The batter is silky. The cake has a soft texture and crusty outside. I used almond extract and it paired nicely with the flavor of the sweetened condensed milk. You could also use vanilla extract.

SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK POUND CAKE

I’ve been wanting to test a Sweetened Condensed Milk Pound Cake for a while for my Pound Cake Review Series.

If you’re not familiar with my review series I have over, gosh, I’ve lost count of how many pound cakes I’m tested and made now. You can see them all at my Pound Cake Review Posts here and print or save the recipe

Most all the recipes for Sweetened Condensed Milk Pound Cake made one loaf and used part of a can of condensed milk. I’m not a fan of using part of a can of something. Mostly, because I forget about it in the fridge and it goes bad. So I reformulated the recipe to use a full can. I made it in a tube pan (as always) but you can use a bundt pan if you choose.

TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST POUND CAKE

Here are my very best tips to make a perfect pound cake! The secret is mix, mix, mix!

  1. Beat the butter until itโ€™s smooth and creamy. It will fluff slightly and become lighter in color.
  2. Beat in the sugar. Again, beat on medium speed until the butter and sugar are smooth.
  3. All refrigerated ingredients need to be at room temperature! 
  4. Add one egg at a time, making sure each is incorporated before adding the next egg. On medium speed, this will take just a few turns of the beaters.
  5. Sift then measure all of the dry ingredients into a bowl, not your mixer bowl. Then with the mixer on low, spoon the dry ingredients into the electric mixer bowl with the other ingredients. Once you add the flour do not over mix. Over mixed flour will result in a tough cake.
  6. Pour the batter into a generously greased and floured or greased and sugared 12-cup tube pan. (I prefer using Wilton cake release or sugar sprinkled over the solid vegetable shorting in the pan because it doesnโ€™t leave white areas as flour does.)
  7. You can use a bundt pan for this recipe. 
  8. Learn How to Calibrate your Oven!!
  9. Enjoy it plain or serve with freshly whipped cream, ice cream, fresh berries, Caramel SauceRaspberry Sauce, strawberry sauceor Orange Curd.

  1. Can you use sweetened condensed coconut milk? I just recently bought a few cans to try out.

  2. Would it come out okay if I split the batter between 2 loaf pans instead of a tube or Bundt pan?

      1. No, not in pound cakes, it completely changes the texture and it will over flow out of your pan.

  3. 3 stars
    So sad to say mine kind of sunk in the center. Not sure why. I followed directions exactly.

    1. That end result is usually a matter of cooking temperature. There are two solutions one is calibrate the temperature of your oven, the second (both of which I recommend) is making sure you use a cooking thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of the poundcake is between 20o-210ยฐ as is the temperature for most baked goods itโ€™ll come out perfect every time.

  4. I have tried several pound cake recipes the problem I have is the outside never has that crunchy texture. Pound cake is my favorite. I am going to try this recipe tomorrow I do pray the cake comes out with the crunchy outside.

  5. 5 stars
    I love this vintage recipe! My grandma used to make and and unfortunately never wrote it down. Thank you for sharing it. I have already made three of them for the neighbors!
