- A light and buttery texture - Tons of vanilla flavor from both extract and vanilla beans - A classic cake that serves as a base for so many desserts
- Unsalted butter - Granulated sugar - Vanilla extract - Vanilla bean - Eggs
- All-purpose flour - Baking powder - Kosher salt - 2% milk - Powdered sugar
In a large bowl, cream butter with sugar 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Beat in vanilla, vanilla beans, and eggs, one at a time beating well after each addition until butter mixture is smooth.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Add to butter mixture, alternatively with milk until batter is just combined.
Spread batter evenly in a parchment paper-lined loaf pan. Bake cake at 350F 55-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
Allow cake to cool 10 minutes in pan, then transfer from pan to a wire cooling rack. Allow to cool completely then dust with powdered sugar and slice. Enjoy!
