Ingredients
- 2 cups 250 g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cups 250 g granulated white sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
