- Pre-heat the oven at 160-degree Celsius. Take a bread loaf pan. Grease it with butter on all sides. Then add a tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Gently shake the pan to coat the bottom and the sides.
- Take a mixing bowl and add the butter pieces to it. Make sure you cut the butter into small pieces. Then add the sugar. With the help of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed. Cream for about 5 to 7 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Take another bowl. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
- Scrape the batter to the pan. Make sure to spread it evenly. Place the pan in the oven and bake it for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Test it with a wooden pick. Insert it in the centre of the cake, if the pick comes out clean then the cake is ready. Cut into slices and serve.
