Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 5 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan or a 9-inch bundt pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions (dry, milk, dry, milk, dry). Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with fresh fruit and whipped cream for an elegant dessert option.
