This is the one that was handed down to me and it comes out wonderful! Crust is a little denser than middle. I have to make one every week for George & another for his guys at work!!
Ingredients:
•2/3 cup butter
•1 1/2 cups sugar
•2 eggs
•2 cups sifted flour
•3/4 teaspoon baking powder
•3/4 teaspoon salt
•2/3 cup milk
•1 teaspoon vanilla
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the dry ingredients. Add sifted ingredients to creamed mixture, alternating with milk and vanilla. Do not overmix. Pour batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 325° for about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
I use my Cuisinart to mix everything.
