Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, and 0.5 tsp salt.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the 3 eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
Step 4
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Step 5
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown, about 55-60 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
