Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups (350 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4–5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add one-third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then half of the milk. Repeat, finishing with flour. Mix just until combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 60–70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out using the parchment and let cool completely before slicing (about 45 minutes).

Notes

  • Add lemon or orange zest for a citrus twist.
  • Substitute almond extract for a nutty variation.
  • Swirl in cocoa-mixed batter for a marble pound cake.
  • Add chopped toasted nuts for extra texture.
  • Use a bundt pan for a different presentation—adjust bake time accordingly.
