- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in vanilla extract and almond extract, if using.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10–15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a crisp crust, don’t open the oven door until at least 1 hour into baking.
- This cake pairs beautifully with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of glaze.
- Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
