Ingredients:
For the Cake
1½ cups all-purpose flour.
1 cup granulated sugar.
½ cup butter, softened.
2 large eggs.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
1 teaspoon baking powder.
¼ cup milk.
For the Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar.
2 tablespoons milk.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or cake pan and lightly dust it with flour to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder until evenly combined. Set the mixture aside while preparing the wet ingredients.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light, creamy, and fluffy.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix gently until the batter is smooth and no dry flour remains.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove any large air bubbles.
Step 7
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
