Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they become foamy and light in color.
  4. Add the milk and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs, mixing until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the basic cake mix to the wet ingredients, one-half cup at a time.
  6. Beat the mixture well after each addition of dry ingredients until smooth and no lumps remain.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and serve plain, or dust with powdered sugar for a finished look.
