Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease well with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla flavored protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the prepared dry ingredients mixture, alternating with the Greek yogurt and milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 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 about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
