1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven is at the right temperature when you place your batter inside.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well combined.
3
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
4
Combine Mixtures
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Mix until just combined; do not overmix, as this can make the final product dense.
5
Prepare Baking Pan
Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
6
Pour Batter
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
7
Bake
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
