Method
- Place the softened butter in a bowl, add the sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat with an electric whisk until a uniform paste is obtained. Add milk and eggs one at a time beating until incorporated.
- Sift the flour together with the baking powder and add them to the previous mixture in two batches while mixing.
- Pour the mixture into the mold and bake in the oven, preheated to 180 ºC, for 1 hour.
- For cream cheese topping, allow the butter to soften at room temperature. Place in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
