Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
1.75 cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs eggs

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some paper hanging over the sides.
In a large bowl, beat butter, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt with an electric mixer until the mixture is fluffy. Then, beat in the flour. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, which should take about 45 minutes.
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cake out of the pan. Place it on a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing. This should take around 30 minutes.
