Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or evaporated milk)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan generously.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Sift together flour and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, alternating with heavy cream.
  5. Stir in vanilla and almond extract until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 75–85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest or use lemon extract for a citrus variation.
  • Fold in chopped pecans or swirl in cinnamon-sugar for added flavor.
  • Top with powdered sugar glaze or cream cheese icing for indulgence.
  • Ensure pan is well-greased and floured to prevent sticking.
  • Best served at room temperature; improves in flavor the next day.
