1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2
Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 5-7 minutes).
3
Add Eggs
Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated into the butter-sugar mixture.
4
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
5
Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6
Add Vanilla Extract
Stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
7
Pour into Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 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 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
