This is a great pound cake. Stands on it's own, and doesn't need a glaze or dusting of powdered sugar. We like it as is!

How To Make almond pound (bundt) cake

  • Prepared bundt pan
    Step 1
    Prepare a 12 cup bundt pan. Mix 1 tablespoon of melted butter, with 1 tablespoon of flour. Spread mixture evenly in the bundt pan using a pastry brush. Set aside. (Your cake will release with ease.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Beating butter, sugar,  almond extract,  and eggs together.
    Step 2
    On low setting, beat butter, sugar, almond extract, and eggs in a large bowl for 30 seconds. Scraping the the sides of the bowl constantly. Then beat on high for 5 minutes.
  • Step 3
    In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt together. On low speed, beat flour mixture into sugar mixture, alternately with milk.
  • Batter in the pan.
    Step 4
    Spread into the prepared bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees, for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean when tested. I start checking at 1 hour for doneness.
  • Cooling for 20 minutes in the pan.
    Step 5
    Cool for 20 minutes in the pan. Remove from pan and place top side up on a wire rack to cool completely.
