Method
Batter
- 1
Preheat and prepare pan
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan (or equivalent) with 1 tablespoon butter and line with parchment if desired for easy removal.

Mix dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 0.25 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt until evenly combined.
- 3
Combine wet ingredients
In a separate large bowl, whisk 1 cup whole milk with 2 large eggs until smooth. Whisk in 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until incorporated.
- 4
Combine wet and dry
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula or whisk just until no large streaks of flour remain; a few small lumps are okay. Do not overmix to keep the batter tender.

Transfer to pan
Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula so it will bake evenly.
Bake & finish
- 6
Bake
Bake in the preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If the top is browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10–15 minutes.

Finish and serve
Once cooled, dust the top lightly with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and serve with 1/2 cup fresh berries on the side or piled on top. Slice and enjoy.
