A FEW THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

  • Have you ever made dulce de leche with sweetened condensed milk? The same type of thing happens in this cake. Once the SCM gets hot enough (like when it’s baked in a cake), it yields a caramel-like flavor.
  • As you can see, I added mini chocolate chips to my loaf and they totally sunk to the bottom. I even sprinkled some on the very top of the batter, and those also sunk all the way to the bottom. It didn’t really bother me– still tasted delicious. But just a heads up!
  • Be sure to check the loaf frequently towards the end of baking and cover with foil if needed to prevent overbrowning.

What’s to love about this pound cake?

I can’t get over the texture (and that subtle caramel flavor!). The exterior is slightly crispy and the inside is unbelievably soft and moist. Seriously, this is the most perfect pound cake loaf I’ve ever made.
