Ingredients
- Butter (for the pan)
- Flour (for the pan)
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- Confectioners’ sugar (for sprinkling)
Preparation
Step 1
1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch tube pan and dust it with flour, tapping out the excess.
2. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt to blend them.
3. In an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times. Mix in the vanilla.
4. With the mixer set on low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the milk in 3 additions, beating just until combined. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
5. Bake the cake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a blunt knife around the edges to loosen it. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.
