  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, caraway seeds, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
