Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 cup low-fat milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the pure vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as desired, enjoying your low sodium classic vanilla loaf cake!
