Eggless Pound Cake Recipe (Whole Wheat)
Report
This Eggless Pound Cake uses whole wheat flour combined with baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, warm milk, and sugar to produce a moist, dense cake. It is baked in a greased loaf or round pan at around 180°C. The cake offers a firm crumb with vanilla aroma and balanced sweetness, free from eggs.
Description
The recipe starts by preparing an appropriate baking pan greased for easy release and preheating the oven. Dry ingredients of whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda are sifted together. Butter is melted and combined with sweetened condensed milk, warm milk, dissolved sugar, and vanilla flavoring to form a smooth wet mixture.
Dry ingredients are folded into the wet mixture to create a batter that bakes into a dense pound cake. Baking at 180°C (356°F) in a conventional oven or slightly lower in convection mode ensures even cooking. The resulting cake has a firm yet moist texture, with a subtle vanilla scent and sweetness derived primarily from the condensed milk and added sugar.
The use of whole wheat flour provides a coarser crumb and a nutty taste compared to white flour. This cake is suitable for those avoiding eggs and provides a familiar pound cake texture with limited ingredients.

Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour - 180 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder or extract or 1 scraped vanilla bean
- 200 grams butter unsalted, melted or about ½ cup melted butter
- 200 grams sweetened condensed milk or half a can of 14 oz/397 or 400 grams of condensed milk
- ½ cup milk warm
- ¼ cup sugar - 40 grams
Instructions
Preparation
- First grease a loaf pan measuring 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 with oil or butter. You can also use a round pan of 7 or 7.5 inches diameter.
- Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius/356 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes before you start baking.
- Use 170 degrees Celsius as the preheat temperature, if baking in the convection mode of the microwave oven.
Making batter
- Sieve whole wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda in a plate or tray. Keep aside.
- Melt butter in a pan.
- Once the butter has melted, place the pan on the countertop. To the melted butter, add sweetened condensed milk.
- With a wired whisk, stir and mix very well. The whole mixture should be homogeneous and even.
- Then add warm milk. You can warm the milk in a small pan on the stove top or in the microwave.
- Next add sugar and begin to stir with a wired whisk, till the sugar is dissolved completely.
- Add vanilla extract or powder or scraped vanilla bean.
- Add all sieved dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
- With a wired whisk mix lightly and with light hands. Don't use pressure from your hands while mixing. Mix evenly. If there are tiny small lumps in the batter, then its fine.
- Pour the cake batter in the prepared pan.
Baking pound cake
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius/356 degrees Fahrenheit till you see cracks from top and a golden color. If top crust starts to get browned, then cover with foil or parchment paper and continue to bake.
- It took me 50 minutes to bake this cake at 180 degrees Celsius/356 degrees Fahrenheit. Depending on the temperature conditions in your oven, it may take less or more time.
- The final check is a golden crust and a tooth pick or wooden skewer coming out clean.
- For baking in the convection mode of a microwave oven, use the temperature of 170 degrees Celsius. Again the baking time will vary in the convection mode of your microwave oven.
- Place the loaf pan to cool on a wired rack. When the cake becomes warm or cools, remove it from the pan.
- Slice and serve the pound cake with milk or tea or coffee. You can also keep the cake covered in a box and refrigerate.
- This cake stays good for 4 to 5 days in the fridge. The recipe makes one loaf.
Notes
- This eggless pound cake uses whole wheat flour to create a dense, moist texture without eggs.
- You can use vanilla powder, extract, or scraped vanilla bean for flavoring.
- The approximate nutrition values correspond to one slice of the cake.
- Adjust oven temperature slightly if using convection mode, lowering to about 170°C.
