Yield Makes one 9-by-5-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup unsalted butter, plus more for pan
2 cups sifted cake flour, (not self-rising)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
5 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-by-5-inch baking pan; place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Sift together flour and salt. Set aside.
  • Beat butter with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add sugar until mixture is creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Gently fold in flour mixture cup by cup, blending after each addition; pour into pan. Bake until cake springs back when touched, about 1 1/2 hours. Let cake cool for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
