Yield Makes 1 10-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups white granulated sugar
3 cups sifted Swans Down Cake Flour
4 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup milk (whole or low fat)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Butter and lightly flour 10 inch tube pan. Sift Swans Down Cake Flour, then lightly spoon 3 cups cake flour into measuring cup.
  • Cream butter in large bowl. Gradually add sugar, creaming until light and fluffy. Sift the already sifted cake flour with baking powder and salt. Add eggs one at a time to creamed mixture, blending well after each addition. Add flour mixture alternately with milk and extracts, blending after each addition until smooth (do not overbeat as this will yield a dry cake). Pour into prepared pan.
