Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
3 cups white sugar
1.5 cups butter, softened
5 eggs eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a tube pan with butter and lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.
In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, baking powder, and salt for a consistent mixture.
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared tube pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
