Ingredients
- 3 tbsp milk, at room temperature
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cake flour, sifted
- 3/4 cup caster sugar
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6½ oz unsalted butter, softened
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F and grease and line a 8 in loaf pan. Whisk the milk, eggs and vanilla together in a jug.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the butter and half the egg mixture and beat on low until moistened, then on medium for 1 minute until pale and aerated.
- Add the remaining egg mixture in two additions, beating for 20 seconds after each, and scrape down the bowl to keep the batter smooth.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes until golden, risen and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and cool completely before slicing.
