  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute: milk with lemon juice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F. Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
