Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • Bundt pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups soft butter
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and grease a Bundt pan generously.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Alternate adding the flour and milk, starting and ending with flour. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
  • While the cake cools, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl to make the glaze.
  • Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before slicing to serve.

Notes

For the best results, use room-temperature ingredients for smoother mixing. Do not overmix the batter—stop once everything is combined. Let the cake cool completely before glazing to avoid a runny mess. You can store the cake in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze individual slices for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving. For a fun twist, consider adding diced apples or berries to the batter.
