Million Dollar Pound Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 3 cups granulated sugar

• 6 large eggs, room temperature

• 4 cups all-purpose flour

• ¾ cup whole milk

• 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional, but recommended)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or Bundt pan.

2. Cream the butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy.

3. Gradually add sugar, beating well after each addition until light and creamy (about 5–7 minutes total).

4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

5. Alternately add flour and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix each addition just until incorporated — do not overmix.

6. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

8. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

 Tips:

• This cake is dense and moist, perfect for slicing and serving with berries, whipped cream, or a glaze.

• It stores beautifully — wrap it well and it keeps for days, and it freezes like a dream.
