Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 80 milliliters whole milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the vanilla extract, making sure the batter is evenly mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
