Vanilla Raisin Loaf

Ingredients

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

• 1½ tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp salt

• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup (150g) sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup (120ml) milk

• ½ cup (80g) raisins (soaked in warm water for 10 minutes and drained)

In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with milk, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the raisins gently.

Pour the batter into a greased and lined loaf pan (8x4 inch).

Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
