Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking.
Prepare Baking Pan
Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mixing Ingredients
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
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.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
Baking
Pour Batter into Pan
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
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.
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.
