Make This!


I found an absolutely beautiful condensed milk poundcake on Pinterest via Dr. Ola's Kitchen. The cake looked so perfect, I had to bake one myself.

Dr. Ola's beautiful cake on the left, my cake on the right.

 
My cake turned out a bit too dry. I had to bake it for over an hour to get the center to bake. It was good, just not as good as a Sara Lee Pound Cake. Oh my goodness - that is what I set my pound cake standard to.

If you want a simple pound cake that you can bake at home (& for less $$ than what a Sara Lee Pound Costs), then for goodness sake, bake this!

Condensed Milk Pound Cake via Dr. Ola's Kitchen
1 can condensed milk (396 grams)
4 eggs
3 Tablespoons butter
1/2 t baking powder
1 cup flour

Mix all ingredients together with an electric mixer & pour into a buttered 22 cm springform pan. Bake in a 350* oven for 40 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Yours still looks yummy! I made a pound cake for Moses's birthday, and I was surprised to hear that I was to bake it in a "cold oven". I thought, "Huh?" Turns out, that dense pound cakes like that are supposed to start in a cold oven, then turn the heat on, and bake for the allowed time! I wonder if that would've made a difference? What do I know....?
