Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard-sized loaf pan.

  combined. Then, add 9½ tablespoon butter, ½ cup milk, and 1½ teaspoon vanilla
  extract and whisk until mixed.

  hot water and finish mixing until everything is well distributed.
• 4 Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the oven at 350°F

  out mostly clean.
• 5 Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 20 minutes before
  turning it out onto a cooling rack. Let it cool on the rack for at least another
  20 minutes before dusting with the optional ¼ cup confectioners sugar, slicing,
  and serving.
