Ingredients

• 1 lb. butter, softened
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 6 eggs
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp. almond extract
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Directions

1. Heat oven to 300 degrees.
2. Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium until creamy and lighter yellow color. Gradually add sugar, beating on medium until fluffy white. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yolk disappears.
3. Add flour to creamed mixture alternating with milk; begin and end with flour. Beat at low speed until just blended after each addition. (Batter should be smooth and flour should be well incorporated. If batter has lumps, stir gently with a rubber spatula) Stir in almond extract and vanilla extract.
4. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. (To grease pan; use butter or vegetable shortening, greasing every part of pan. Sprinkle with a light coating of flour over greased surface.) Bake 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
