Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs (room temperature, lightly beaten)
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (plus additional flour for dusting)
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instruction

  • Place a rack in the center of oven. Preheat to 375° F. Prepare a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan by greasing it with butter, and dusting it with flour. Gently pat the pan and remove any excess flour.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat well until fully combined.
  • Add the beaten eggs one at a time, mixing in completely after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1 ½ cups and 2 tablespoons of flour with the kosher salt and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture gradually. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is browned and a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Place to cake in the pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before removing from the pan.
