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
- 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.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center 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.
- 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.
