How to Make the Perfect Million Dollar Pound Cake

The Million Dollar Pound Cake is a simple, rich, and flavorful cake, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups sugar
• 6 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, vegetable oil, and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
4. Add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Add the extracts: Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
6. Add the dry ingredients and sour cream: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the sour cream. Mix just enough to combine and form a smooth batter.
7. Pour and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving your delicious Million Dollar Pound Cake.
