Christmas Tree Condensed Milk Pound Cake (圣诞树炼乳磅蛋糕)

When I saw Esther from Copycake Kitchen posted this Christmas Tree Condensed Milk Pound Cake, I was attracted by the tiny christmas tree in the middle of the cake and it looked so cute & christmasy too. So I decided to give it a try too since Christmas is around the corner. I remembered when I was still very young, my mum used to buy condensed milk for us to spread on biscuits and drink with Milo. It sounds very fattening but I do like the taste very much. Using Condensed Milk to bake pound cake is my first very attempt and I find the texture is not too bad and my mum quite like it too. Though the christmas tree is not perfectly done but overall I still like the effect.
