How to Make German Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).
  2. Grease a 6-7 cup fluted Bundt pan with 30g of butter. Place large dabs of butter in the creases of the mold, embedding one almond in each dab. Refrigerate while preparing the batter.
  3. Cream together 200g softened unsalted butter and 200g granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add 200g brown sugar, beating well after each addition.
  5. Beat in 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, until smooth.
  6. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  7. In a separate bowl, sift together 300g all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt three times. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients alternately with 120ml milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  8. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold a spoonful of the batter into the egg whites to lighten them, then carefully fold the egg whites into the remaining batter.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once completely cool, dust generously with sifted powdered sugar and slice into thin pieces to serve.
