Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Grease a 23 x 13 cm (9 x 5 in) loaf pan and line the bottom and long sides with a strip of parchment.

2. 2

   Using a mixer on medium-high speed, beat the butter with the sugar until pale and airy, 4-5 min.

3. 3

   Crack in the eggs one by one, beating 30 seconds after each. If the mixture looks curdled, beat in a spoonful of the flour.

4. 4

   Beat in the vanilla.

5. 5

   Whisk the flour and salt together.

6. 6

   Fold the flour into the batter in two additions with a spatula, just until no streaks remain.

7. 7

   Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth the top.

8. 8

   Bake until deep golden with a split down the middle and a skewer comes out clean, 55-65 min. If the top browns too fast after 40 min, cover it loosely with foil.

9. 9

   Cool in the pan for 15 min, then lift out onto a wire rack.

10. 10

    Cool completely, at least 30 min, before slicing.
