Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups (340g) unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups (600g) granulated sugar
• 6 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups (345g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (240ml) milk

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 10-inch bundt pan by greasing it with butter and dusting it with flour.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. 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.
9. Once the cake has cooled, it is ready to be served. Dust it with powdered sugar or frost it with your favorite glaze for an extra special touch.
