Provided by The Fat Man

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 Cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour, Sifted (White Lily, if available)
3 cups granulated sugar
2/3 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 lb unsalted butter, softened
5 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk (Whole Milk Buttermilk, preferably)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon butter flavoring
1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour large bundt pan.
  • Spoon flour into measuring cup, add to sifter and when all 3 cups are added, sift.
  • Combine flour, sugar and baking soda in mixer bowl of standing mixer (hand-held OK if that is all you have) and mix on medium speed for 30 seconds.
  • In separate bowl, lightly beat eggs, then add buttermilk and flavorings and mix.
  • Add softened butter and 1/3 of wet mixture to dry ingredients, and mix on medium speed until ingredients are just moistened.
  • Scrape bowl down, then beat on high for 1 full minute, turning bowl several times and scraping down sides at least once.
  • Add remainder of wet ingredients in 2 additions, beating about 30 seconds after each addition.
  • Remove mixer bowl, scrape any batter off beaters into bowl, and with rubber spatula mix batter a few turns to insure that it is well mixed.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, and firmly tap pan on counter top to pop any bubbles in the batter.
  • Place on middle rack of preheated oven and cook until done, about 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • If cake bakes longer than 50 minutes, you can butter a piece of foil and lay on top to avoid overbrowning.
  • Don't fret if top splits in a circle concentric to the pan -- that is proper for this cake.
  • When done, remove to wire rack; cool for 5 minutes, then invert pan and remove (may need to loosen edges with thin knife).
  • Do not cover until cool.
