Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound unsalted butter (2 cups)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until pale and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Reduce mixer speed to low; alternately add sifted flour and milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in vanilla and optional almond extracts.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
