Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 ½ cup cake flour (Read note #1 for substitute)
  • 4 large eggs (254 gm at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup milk at room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons fine sugar (Note #2)
  • 1 cup 226gm unsalted butter cut in cubes and chilled

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Grease and dust with flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, I prefer to line the baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla until combined, set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift or whisk the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  • Add the butter to the flour mixture and beat until combined; it will take few seconds.
  • Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and beat on low until combined.
  • Turn the hand mixer speed to high and beat the batter for 30 seconds.
  • Pour the batter in the prepared baking pan and bake on the middle shelf of your oven for 45 -50 minutes, or until it is golden, and a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out with a few tiny crumbs. The cake will continue cooking while cooling.
  • Place the cake on the cooling rack and allow it to cool for 9 minutes while in the pan. Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • When the cake is cool, slice it, and serve it with whipped cream, or your favorite fruit.
