Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking.

2. Prepare Baking Pan

Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

3. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

4. Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

5. Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

6. Combine with Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Baking

7. Pour Batter into Pan

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

8. Bake the Cake

Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool the Cake

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
