Sweetened Condensed Milk

This is one of those sweetened condensed milk recipes that is a keeper. The sugary syrup is the most amazing treat, even on its own and it’s such a great addition to many desserts.

I usually buy about ten cans around the holidays and make fudge for friends and family, along with this pound cake.

Who Gets To Lick The Can?

We almost fight over who gets to lick the can when I am making the easy pound cake recipe.

The kids will circle around me waiting until I first get the lid off of the sweetened condensed milk can, and then try and get the remaining drops inside, and, they have me to contend with – I want it all! 

But, we do share with each other when it comes down to who gets the last lick–most of the time!

I just made this pound cake and it is in the oven. After I made it I reread the recipe and in the instructions it said baking soda. I used the baking powder. I hope it is powder and not soda.

It will probably be fine, it just might not rise as much. How'd it turn out?

This is one of the best pound cake recipes I've ever tried and I've tried many. It has the exact texture I wanted. I've already made a second one lol FYI. My bake time was 45-50 minutes. I also sprinkled some course sugar on top. Enjoy.

Hi I just made this cake. I had to cook it longer because the middle wouldn’t get done. I almost burned it. It really had a great taste though. I don’t know what I did wrong. I probably will make it again. My husband loved it. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
