Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cake will bake evenly.
Prepare the Cake Pan
Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Mixing Ingredients
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Baking
Pour Batter into Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the Cake
Place the pan 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 allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
