Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan and dust it with flour.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 70 to 80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve the cake sliced, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
