How to Make Million Dollar Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer on medium speed.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
  10. Invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
