- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 1/2 cups cake flour or all-purpose flour

- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk:
- Beat in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
- Add Eggs:
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Prepare for Baking:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.

Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- Don’t overmix the batter; once the dry ingredients are incorporated, stop mixing.
- The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
Frosting Options:
- Classic Buttercream Frosting: A simple and delicious frosting that complements the pound cake perfectly.
- Cream Cheese Frosting: A tangy frosting that balances the sweetness of the cake.
- Chocolate Ganache: A rich and decadent topping for an extra indulgence.
