Sweetened Condensed Milk Pound Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups butter (not light) or 2 1/2 sticks regular margarine (not light)
• 2 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 (12 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 6 eggs
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

1. Prepare your cake pan by coating it with shortening and flour; an old aluminum tube pan works wonderfully, though you can use any pan you prefer.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat 1 1/4 cups butter and 2 1/2 cups sugar at high speed until the mixture is soft and smooth, using a heavy-duty mixer if available.
4. Add the 12-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk, beating until it is well blended into the mixture.
5. Introduce the 6 eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition for a fluffy texture.
6. In a separate bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry mixture one cup at a time into the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
7. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla and mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
8. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. You might want to wrap aluminum foil around the pan to prevent the crust from darkening too much. For the last 20-30 minutes of baking, place foil over the top as well.
9. Once done, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before gently removing it. Enjoy every slice.
