Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 375 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 90 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 240 milliliters Buttermilk
- 2 Eggs, large
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until no dry streaks remain, being careful not to overmix to avoid a dense loaf.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store any extras in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or you can refrigerate it for longer freshness.
