Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Allow the butter and the eggs (if chilled) to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Get the ingredients ready by weighing & measuring them into separate bowls.
Make the Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease the bottom and sides of the pan with about 1/2 teaspoon of butter.
- In the mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed with the stand mixer for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides at least once. Add the eggs one at a time, and beat on low speed until thoroughly combined and scrape the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla and salt and beat to combine. Add a third of the flour, beating on low speed until just combined and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Then beat at medium speed for 30 more seconds.
- Use the scraper to transfer the batter into the pan, flattening the surface of the batter.
- Bake for 1 hour or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center of each pan comes out clean, turning the pan halfway through the baking.
- Cool the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool the cake completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving.
