Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 1/4 sticks unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 7 oz (200g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 7 oz. (200g) sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons fresh milk
- 1/4 cup raisins (dusted with some all-purpose flour)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a regular loaf pan or two mini loaf pans with butter. Mix the flour and baking powder together and sift. Add the salt and mix well. Set aside.
- 2
Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until well combined and pale yellow in color, about 5 minutes. (Note: the sugar may not be fully dissolved yet).
- 3
Add the first egg and beat well after each addition, about 1-2 minutes or until creamy. Scrape down the sides for even mixing.
- 4
Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Fold in the flour mixture and combine thoroughly. Add the milk and fold in the raisins, saving some for the top. Mix well.
- 5
Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and shake lightly to distribute it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining raisins on top.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
