Instructions
Place a rack in the center of oven. Preheat to 375° F. Prepare a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan by greasing it with butter, and dusting it with flour. Gently pat the pan and remove any excess flour.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat well until fully combined.
Add the beaten eggs one at a time, mixing in completely after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1 ½ cups and 2 tablespoons of flour with the kosher salt and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture gradually. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is browned and a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Place to cake in the pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before removing from the pan.
