Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2.5 cups granulated sugar
• 6 pieces large eggs
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a stand or hand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt or tube pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even rise.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve plain, or with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flair. Enjoy!
