Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter softened
2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract optional
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Heat your oven to 325°F 160°C and prepare your bundt or 10 inch tube pan by thoroughly greasing and flouring it to prevent sticking.
Cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is very light and airy, which helps ensure the cake will be tender.
Add eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, beating each completely before adding the next to create a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt by whisking until they are well blended.
Slowly mix the dry ingredients and milk into the butter and egg mix alternately, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, blending on low speed until just incorporated to avoid toughness.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and, if desired, almond extract for extra flavor.
Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula so it bakes evenly.
Bake the cake for 75 to 85 minutes; test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center which should come out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool thoroughly.
While the cake cools, mix the powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable but not too runny.
Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cake and allow it to set before slicing and serving.
