• Step by Step Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
• Grease and flour a Bundt or loaf pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar

• In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with a mixer.
• Mix until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3: Add the Eggs

• Add the eggs one at a time.
• Beat well after adding each egg.

Step 4: Mix the Dry Ingredients

• In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5: Combine Wet Ingredients

• In a separate bowl, stir together milk, Hennessy, and vanilla extract.

Step 6: Alternate Dry and Wet Ingredients

• Slowly add the dry mix to the butter mixture.
• Alternate with the wet mix, starting and ending with the dry.
• Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Step 7: Pour the Batter

• Pour the batter into your greased pan.
• Use a spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 8: Bake the Cake

• Bake for 60 to 70 minutes.
• Check by inserting a toothpick—it should come out clean.

Step 9: Cool and Serve

• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
• Turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
