Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease my loaf pan with a bit of butter. I really love this part because the smell of butter melting immediately elevates my mood! Then, in a large mixing bowl, I cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. It usually takes about 3-5 minutes with my electric mixer, and honestly, the texture is just so satisfying. Once that’s achieved, I gently add in the eggs, one by one, along with the vanilla extract. The mixture starts to become luxurious and glossy, and I can hardly wait to see how it transforms in the oven! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
