3 cups of White Lily all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks of Land O'Lakes unsalted butter, softened
2-1/2 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a bundt pan with Baker's Joy baking spray and set aside. You're gonna need a 12-cup pan for this batch of batter.
Put the flour, baking powder and salt into a strainer and sift into a bowl; set aside.
Beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Add the sugar into the butter 1/2 cup at a time and continue beating on medium until mixture becomes fluffy. Crack the eggs into a separate small bowl {to avoid getting shell into the mixture} one at a time and add them into the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, blending each egg in before adding the next.
Reduce speed to low and begin to alternately add the flour mixture and the half and half into the creamed butter, starting and ending with the flour, until all is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and blend it in. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread out the top evenly. Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Place the pan onto a cooling rack and cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert cake onto the rack and allow to fully cool, at least 30-45 minutes.
