In four additions, alternate adding the flour and milk into the butter and egg mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. After the last addition of flour, beat mixture until just combined.

Pour batter into prepared pan and place in the oven to bake fro 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center. Remove from heat and allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes then remove and place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
