Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
