Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 F/ 149 C. You will be using the middle rack. Prepare the Bundt pan with Baker's Joy.
- Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy., 7 minutes. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy, about an additional 7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow yolk disappears. Add the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Add flour to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition.
- Pour into the prepared Bundt pan. Tap it on the counter to remove any big bubbles.
- Bake at 300° for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
- When the cake has completely cooled, combine the powdered sugar and milk together to make a glaze. If it's too thin, add more sugar, and if it's not thin enough. add a few drops of milk.
Notes
This cake is fine without the glaze, but it looks very nice and it protects it to a certain extent.
