  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ cup milk to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
