Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a standard 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 75-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the Phyllis Icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth and slightly thick but pourable. Add more heavy cream if needed to reach the desired consistency.
Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the icing generously over the top, allowing it to cascade beautifully down the sides of the cake.
Serve and enjoy your Phyllis Cake with Phyllis Icing, a decadent treat for all to savor!
