Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 5-by-9-inch loaf pans. Combine flour and salt in a bowl.
- Cream butter and sugar with a mixer on high speed until pale and fluffy, for 8 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to medium, and add vanilla extract.
- Lightly beat eggs, and add to mixer bowl in 4 additions, mixing thoroughly after each and scraping down sides. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in 4 additions, mixing until just incorporated. Fold poppy seeds into finished batter. Divide batter between pans. Tap on counter to distribute; smooth tops.
- Bake until a tester inserted into center of each cake comes out clean, about 65 minutes. Let cool in pans on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire rack.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter mix together smoothly and evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding to the batter: This will help ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Cool the cake completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
