Cake: Unfrosted Vanilla Milk Cake

By fsilver4

OMG! This is soo good. It has an incredible flavor, something like very buttery and almost nutty. It is sooo perfect all by itself with a little powder sugar.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 8 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup milk (you can use 2%, but I don't)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 eggs, room temperature
• 2 cups sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325*
Grease and flour a 12 cup tube pan

Whisk the flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Or just sift it together.

*Heat the butter and milk in a medium saucepan until the butter melts and the mixture is hot, but not boiling.

*Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla
*Beat the eggs and sugar until tripled in volume, about 6 minutes
*Add the flour mixture and milk mixture in two batches, but don't over beat
*Pour the batter into the pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean

*Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely, for at least 1 hour.
