Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans using vegetable shortening and then lightly flour, taping out the excess. Set aside.
- In medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla bean paste/vanilla extract and eggs, beating on high speed 5 minutes.
- Add the flour mixture into the sugar mixture alternately with milk on low speed, beating just until smooth after each addition. Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 20 minutes; remove from pan(s) to wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with powdered sugar glaze.
