Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk until just blended.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
