  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • Ā½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)

  • Pinch of salt (balances sweetness)

šŸ‘©ā€šŸ³ INSTRUCTIONS (STEP-BY-STEP)

šŸ”§ METHODS & BAKING TIPS

  • Room-temperature eggs help create a smoother batter
  • Do not overbakeā€”this cake should be moist and creamy, not dry
  • Tent loosely with foil if the top browns too fast
  • For extra luxury, brush the warm cake with a little melted butter

šŸ“œ HISTORY & ORIGIN

Pound cake dates back to 18th-century Europe, traditionally made with equal parts butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. Over time, modern versions evolvedā€”removing flour, simplifying steps, and enhancing richness. This condensed-milk version is a modern twist, inspired by quick bakes and minimalist desserts popular in home kitchens worldwide.

šŸ§¬ HOW THIS CAKE IS FORMED

  • Eggs provide structure and richness
  • Condensed milk adds sweetness, moisture, and creamy density
  • Almond flour creates a tender, slightly nutty crumb
  • Butter delivers that signature pound-cake melt-in-your-mouth feel

Together, they form a dense yet soft cake that slices beautifully.

šŸ§ VARIATION METHODS

  • Lemon version: Add 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • Chocolate version: Mix in Ā¼ cup cocoa powder
  • Nutty version: Fold in chopped almonds or walnuts
  • Vanilla-almond glaze: Powdered sweetener + milk + vanilla

  • Almond-flour lovers
