Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously grease and flour a standard 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed after each addition until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly mixed.
Step 7
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Step 9
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes.
Step 10
Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
