Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 6 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan thoroughly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take around 5 minutes.

Step 3

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

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 alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined after each addition.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit for an elegant touch.
