Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius).

  4. Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with whole milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Stir in the vanilla extract gently.
  8. For the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  11. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
