Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 10-inch bundt or tube pan by greasing and flouring it generously.
  2. Combine your softened butter and cream cheese with granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cream until light, fluffy, and pale.
  3. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  4. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Remove the cake and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a dense cake.
