3/4 C sugar (If you have some vanilla sugar on hand, this would be a good time to use it.)
•
1 vanilla bean
•
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
•
3 large eggs, room temperature
•
1 T pure vanilla extract (You could use vanilla bean paste here instead. If you use vanilla bean paste, you could skip the addition of the vanilla bean.)
