Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1.5 tablespoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and lightly flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan, making sure to cover all crevices to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour and salt together. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts by hand using a spatula, ensuring the batter is well mixed and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for 90 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your rich and buttery Millionaire's Pound Cake!
