Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, Softened
4 eggs
3 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
3 teaspoons vanilla extract, Pure is preferable
1/4 cup cocoa (fine quality for baking)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Grease 10 inch tube pan, dust with flour and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In large bowl beat sugar and butter together at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
  • In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add 1/3 of flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat just until blended. Add 1/3 of milk and vanilla until blended and repeat twice with the remainder until blended.
  • Remove about 2 1/2 cups of batter and add cocoa and almond extract to it just until blended.
  • Alternately spoon vanilla and chocolate batters into prepared pan. Using a knife twist it through the batter once.
  • Bake 45 minute to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool cake on a wire rack for 10 minute. Remove cake from pan and let cool completely on a rack.
  • You may add icing or powdered sugar if desired.
  • This cake freezes well.

Tips:

  • Soften butter and cream cheese to room temperature: This will make them easier to mix and will help the cake batter to be smooth and creamy.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dry cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cake from drying out and will also help to create a moist and tender crumb.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and will also make it easier to spread.
