Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Sugar
- 200 grams Butter (unsalted)
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 milliliters Milk (optional, for consistency)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
If the batter is too thick, add milk a little at a time until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, leveling it out with a spatula to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is, or pair with your favorite jam, butter, or spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
