Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch (25 cm) tube or bundt pan.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This may take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.

3. Add Eggs:

  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

5. Alternate Flour Mixture and Milk:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.
