Would you like me to adjust the recipe or add any specific ingredients?
Ingredients:
1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (120ml) milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or macadamia nuts)
Optional: white chocolate chips or raisins
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until smooth, but do not overmix.
- Add nuts and extras: Fold in the chopped nuts and optional white chocolate chips or raisins.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
