Vanilla Butter Cake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 11 x 7-inch baking pan. Place the butter and milk in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until the butter has melted. Cool to room temperature.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and thick. With mixer at low speed, gradually beat in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk mixture.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a rack. Drizzle with the glaze.
