Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter and flour an 8×4″ or 9×5″ loaf pan.

Step 2

Using an electric mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter for about 1 minute until creamy.

Step 3

Slowly add in the sugar, and beat until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes)

Step 4

Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well in between. Scrape the bowl as needed. Then add in the vanilla bean seeds, mix well again.

Step 5

On low speed, add in the flour and mix until just combined.

Step 6

Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at 45 minutes and loosely cover the cake with foil if browning too quickly.
