Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk, heated until hot but not boiling

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Hand whisk eggs until thick and foamy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs approximately one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the hot milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
