Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 60 milliliters whole milk, at room temperature
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the unsalted butter until creamy and light, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the granulated sugar to the butter and continue beating until the mixture is pale and fluffy, around 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 6
Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
Step 7
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture in three additions, alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow the loaf cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Once cooled, slice and enjoy your low sodium classic all-butter loaf cake.
