Steps

Lightly grease 2 (9x5 inch) loaf pans with butter and dust with flour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream butter until light and fluffy. Beat in sugar until smooth.

Add in eggs one at a time and beat until smooth. Slowly add in flour, mixing in between additions.

Pour in prepared pans.

Bake in the preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Tent with aluminum foil to prevent over browning. Cool in the pans for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
