• 4 pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt

5. Stir in the pure vanilla extract and salt until just combined, ensuring not to overwork the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tip: Avoid opening the oven door during the first 45 minutes to prevent the cake from sinking.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
