Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until combined, then whisk in eggs and vanilla.
  2. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt over the wet mixture. Fold in gently, then add milk and fold just until no streaks remain.
  3. Scrape batter into pan and bake 50 to 55 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  4. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then lift out and cool completely on a rack before slicing.

Notes

If using a dark metal loaf pan, reduce oven temperature to 325°F and bake 5 to 10 minutes less to avoid over-browning.
