Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I always like to get my ingredients ready to streamline the process. Grab a mixing bowl and cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Once that’s done, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the milk and vanilla extract until everything is well blended. Oh, the smell of vanilla wafting through my kitchen is simply divine! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
