Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Cake Mix
- 1 3.4 oz box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 4 pieces Large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons Almond Extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 cups Sliced Almonds
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan or spray it thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Cake Mix and the instant vanilla pudding mix.
Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, almond extract, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on low speed for 30 seconds until combined, then increase to medium speed for 2 minutes to ensure the batter is smooth.
Fold in the sliced almonds gently with a spatula.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, ensuring it is smooth on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve.
