1 ½ cups unsalted butter (softened)
3 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs (room temperature)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or tube pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Step 2:
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer. Beat for 5–7 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color.
Step 3:
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This step is important for creating a smooth and stable batter.
Step 4:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Start and end with the flour mixture.
Step 5:
Stir in vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 6:
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7:
Bake for 75–85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
