Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place flour, sugar, butter, milk, eggs and vanilla (in that order) in a 4-qt. bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer. Beat at low speed 1 minute, stopping to scrape down sides. Beat at medium speed 2 minutes.

Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch (16 cup) tube pan, and smooth. Bake at 325 for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack and cool completely (about 1 hour).
