We enjoyed some delicious #MillstoneCoffee along with this Condensed Milk Pound Cake as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars by Crowdtap.
My husband Jack and I will both admit it – we are major coffee addicts! Neither of us can go without our morning cup of Joe!
So this past weekend…our coffee maker broke! Both of us were DYING until we could get to the nearest coffee shop – which was en route to the closest store so we could buy a new coffee maker as soon as possible!
There’s no doubt about it, both of us look forward to a great cup of coffee every morning, and one of our favorites is Millstone Coffee! All Millstone brand coffees are slow-roasted to perfection from 100% Premium Arabica Beans – the best available – and it totally shows in Millstone Coffee’s fantastic flavor and aroma!
And if you are coffee lovers like us, Millstone has two new gourmet flavors you’ve got to try: their House Blend – a well-balanced blend with a flavorful, smooth finish, and their Mayan Black Onyx – a dark, full-bodied blend with a rich finish! (You can also see a complete list of other Millstone Coffee flavors right here.)
I’m partial to the smooth flavors of the House Blend while Jack loves the bold Mayan Black Onyx! And any of Millstone’s gourmet coffees will go perfectly with this Sweetened Condensed Milk Pound Cake recipe we’re sharing with you today!
This sweetened condensed milk pound cake is moist, dense and lightly sweet. It’s perfect served for breakfast (along with some delicious Millstone Coffee of course!) – and it’s also wonderful served for dessert with fruit or any other kind of sweet topping. Enjoy!

Condensed Milk Pound Cake
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 1 hour
- Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
- Yield: 1 loaf 1x
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- Spray an 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy – about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each egg until well blended. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture (increasing the speed of the mixer as needed and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed) until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-65 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes, then turn the pound cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
It’s around this time of year that we start making our holiday pound cake – full of booze, with the shelf life of fruit cake. After it’s made, we wrap it tightly and store it until December – allowing the flavours to really meld. It’s a torturous wait! Of course, if I made your version, it might tide me over until then…
Your boozy pound cake sounds fantastic! I’m hoping it is on your blog so I can get the recipe?!
This is probably the best looking pound cake I have ever seen. It is SO perfect in colour, texture and I bet in taste as well! I definitely have to recreate your recipe.. and hopefully mine turns out as good as this!
Thanks Thalia! I think the condensed milk really helps to make this cake something special! Hope you enjoy it!
Pound cake makes me weak at the knees!
I wanted to make this and slap some of my homemade orange marmalade on it!
Orange marmalade would be great on this Ashley!
I most certainly am a coffee lover as well and these sound delicious!
Thanks Brenda!
I love that coffee, and your pound cake is to die for!
Thanks Angie!
I’m sitting here drinking my cup of coffee and pining for a slice of this pound cake! I can’t wait to try it!
I hope you enjoy it Jessica (I’m wishing I had a slice with my coffee this morning too…)!
This cake looks perfect! I have never used condensed milk in pound cake but it looks like I need to give it a try!
Thanks Brandy! It adds great flavor to the pound cake! Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Oh man, I definitely need to try this! Pound cake is a staple in my family!
Thanks Kim – hope you enjoy it!
Oooh that sounds interesting! I do make a pound cake, I’ll have to try it this way. And coffee is perfect with pound cake by the way.
I agree Val! Coffee and pound cake are the perfect pair!
