How to Make Cherry Mini Pound Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour 12 mini loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer on low speed until combined.
  3. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups maraschino cherries, drained.
  7. Fill the prepared mini loaf pans about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
