Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan to ensure easy
removal of the cake after baking.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
This helps to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt throughout the flour.

Cream the Butter and Sugar:

 In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the
mixture is light and fluffy. This typically takes about 3-4 minutes on medium speed with an electric
mixer.
Add the Eggs:
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each
addition. This ensures that the eggs are fully incorporated and helps to add volume to the batter.

Mix in the Dry Ingredients:

With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients to the butter
mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until
combined to avoid overmixing the batter.

Add the Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the Batter into the Pan:

 Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a
spatula to ensure even baking.

Bake the Cake:

 Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the
center of the cake comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown and spring back when lightly
pressed.

Cool the Cake:

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before turning it out onto a
wire rack to cool completely.
