    In a mixing bowl, cream together 0.5 cup of butter and 1.5 cups of brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

    Add 3 eggs to the mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with 0.5 cup of milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

    Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
