Steps to follow
1

2
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, preparing them to be incorporated into the wet ingredients.
4
Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the creamed mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
5
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6
Bake in a preheated 325°F (165°C) oven for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
