3 c sugar
1 lb. butter, softened
6 eggs (room temp)
4 c. flour
3/4 c. milk
1 tsp almond flavoring
1 tsp vanilla
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time until well mixed.
Beginning with flour, alternate it and the milk in small amounts until well mixed.
Stir in almond flavoring and vanilla.
Place batter in a greased tube pan and bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour 40 minutes.
My notes-
I have used lemon in place of the almond. It is good, but the almond gives it a great flavor. I cook mine in a bundt pan, and yes, it really does take that long to cook! It is great served with fresh berries and whipped cream or just on its own! Enjoy!

3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
3 large eggs
Heat oven to 350*. Grease & lightly flour bottom & sides of a 13X9" rectangular pan or 2 -- 9" round pans. In a large bowl beat all ingredients together on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high for 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan/s. Bake rectangle 35-40 mins (round 25-30 mins.) , or until cake springs back when lighty touched. Cool on wire racks. (If you have used rounds pans remove cakes after 10 mins and let them finish cooling on the racks.)

vanilla buttercream frosting (by Januinely~me)
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter or marg -- softened
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 - 2 TBSP milk
Mix powdered sugar & butter (or marg) in a medium bowl on low speed. Stir in vanilla and 1 TBSP of milk. Gradually beat in just enough of the remaining milk to make frosting smooth & spreadable. If frosting is too thick, add more milk a few drops at a time. If frosting becomes to thin, add small amounts of icing sugar.
