Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease or flour your bundt or tube pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk.
  6. Stir in the pure vanilla extract and almond extract (if using) until smooth.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt or tube pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 75 to 85 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk or heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
