US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
In the bowl of your mixer add the butter and sugar and cream until light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the egg yolks and mix them until well combined. Combine the flour with the salt then add half of the flour mixture to the mixer and mix until combined, then mix in half the condensed milk. Repeat with remaining flour and remaining condensed milk.
In another bowl whisk the egg whites until fluffy then gently fold them in to the cake batter.
Place the cake batter into the prepared loaf pans and transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes in the pan then remove from pan onto a cooling rack to finish cooling completely before serving.

Notes

Recipe yields 2 pound cakes.
Use room temperature butter and eggs. This helps the batter to emulsify and properly come together. So I recommend taking the eggs and butter out of the fridge up to a couple of hours before starting the recipe.
Fold the batter gently. When incorporating the egg whites into the batter it’s very important to do this step gently. You don’t want to deflate the cake before it’s even baked.
Let it cool. Be sure to give the sweetened condensed milk pound cake 10 minutes to cool in the pan before attempting to turn it out onto a cooling rack. If the cake is too warm it can fall apart.
