Condensed Milk Pound Cake – Step by Step Recipe

March 12, 2018 80 Comments

Condensed milk pound cake recipe – It’s Friday and I am quite exhausted. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind at work and I haven’t been able to do things outside of it as much as I’d have liked to. But let’s talk about some condensed milk pound cake goodness and work on the stress, shall we?
I can’t begin to talk about how much I love condensed milk. When I was small, I used to add it to toast, dip plain vanilla cake in it, top my cupcakes with it, have it with roti, dosa, you name it! Even now, I almost always have a tin of condensed milk in the pantry, ready to get added to anything that takes my fancy.
That’s a lot of talk for a tired girl so on to the recipe now. This condensed milk pound cake clearly won over a fool-proof one banana-banana bread I made recently, in this poll, so on to the recipe, one step at a time.

condensed milk pound cake recipeAs always, a dish of the final good stuff. There’s a reason why my cake looks a bit dense and hole-y. More about that in a bit.

condensed milk pound cake recipe

Let’s the flour first. 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour or maida.

condensed milk pound cake recipeAdd that into a sieve with 3/4 tsp baking powder.

condensed milk pound cake recipeNext, we need 1 cup powdered sugar. I used brown sugar but white will work just fine. Add this to a bowl.

Top this off with 1 cup soft butter. I slightly melted it because I forgot to keep it out before baking but butter at room temperature is what we need here.
Beat the butter-sugar mixture well using an electric beater for 2 mins until fluffy. If using hand, beat well for about 5 mins.

Add the whisked butter-sugar-condensed milk mixture to the flour mixture with one pinch salt. Mix until just combined.

Top it off with the whisked egg. Combine gently without beating.

All set to go into the oven. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for about 30 mins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
condensed milk pound cake recipeThe top will turn golden brown and the cake will rise to almost double the amount of batter.
condensed milk pound cake recipeOk, now the story of my cake. I forgot to set my oven temp to 180C so the cake baked in a really hot 220C oven for 30 mins and the sides started burning while the center was still fudgy. I had to take it out at that time so the cake wasn’t as soft as it can be.
Still, this was one good cake, have to say!
Here’s the recipe, all in one place.
Condensed Milk Pound Cake
Makes an 8″ square cake or one standard sized loaf
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour or maida
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 scant cup powdered sugar (I used a little over 3/4 cup)
1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
2 eggs
3/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla essense
1 pinch salt
Instructions:
1. Sieve the flour and baking powder until well combined. You can also whisk it well in a bowl until combined, if you don’t have a sieve.
2. Beat butter and sugar together until soft and fluffy – 5 mins by hand, 2 mins by electric beater. Then add the condensed milk and repeat for the same time, until well combined.
3. Whisk eggs in a bowl for 2 mins with a fork and set aside.
4. Add the flour to the butter-sugar-condensed milk mixture and mix until just combined without beating too hard.
5. Add the eggs, vanilla essence and salt and combine well again.
6. Transfer to a greased cake tin or loaf pan and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180C/325F for 30-35 mins. Insert a toothpick at the center to test if the cake is done.
7. Cool, slice and serve.

    Hi, Thanks for the recipe!! My 5 yr old daughter and I tried this out y'day and cake came out really well. There were a few anxious moments before I added the eggs, since the dough looked very heavy. But the trick of adding egg at the end is a good one and it aerated the cake well!!! My daughter was really proud of herself for 'baking a cake' and she's taking it to school for her snack-time!!!

    its probably because you skipped the egg. or could be oven temperature or the pan you used.

    In your written recipe, it looks like 11/3 cups instead of 1 1/3 cups. It's very easy to make the mistake of putting 11/3 instead of 1 and 1/3. Please fix this typo.

    Since I have been overdosing on sugary food and now have no threshold for low sugar items, please take a few minutes to fill out the following survey for my sole benefit.
    How sweet was this cake?
    1.All your teeth fell out the next day
    2.Temporary Sugar-high and headache inducing
    3.Mild and milky
    4.Creamy, but not sweet.

    Deesha – i always have time to bake 😀 i only have this loaf pan that's pyrex. i always forget to regulate the temp when i bake in this. since its glass and heavy, in my oven it has to be baked for longer at lower temperatures. but in my opinion, aluminium cake pans are the best!

    Ann – you are hilarious girl 😀 this was a tad on the sweeter side. the original recipe called for 1 cup sugar and i added only a little over 3/4 cup. you could do the same. so in ur options, i'd say its between 2 and 3.
