Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
On low speed, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix each addition just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
