Instructions
- Prepare Batter – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf or bundt pan. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with dry.
