Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, add the softened butter and granulated sugar. Process until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Crack in the eggs one at a time, processing for a few seconds after each addition to fully incorporate.

Step 4

Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract, then process again until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the food processor in two batches, pulsing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cool, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve.
