In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the 2/3 cup granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla, just until combined.
Add the flour mixture and the milk and stir gently just until combined.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread out evenly.
