Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add flour and salt, alternating with milk, mixing until smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a dense cake.
- Store the cake in an airtight container to keep it moist and fresh.
