Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Coat a 10- inch (10 - 15 cup) bundt pan liberally with nonstick spray. Alternately you can coat the pan with butter/shortening and dust it with flour or powdered sugar, tapping off excess. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 3 minutes, until fluffy and pale in color. Add in the eggs and extract(s), mixing for 1 minute until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Turn mixer to low and add in the flour and buttermilk in alternating portions until just combined, beginning and ending with the flour.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, and then invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To prepare the frosting, in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and honey together on medium speed for 1 minute, until smooth. Turn the mixer to low and slowly add in the powdered sugar. Once it's all added in, turn the mixer up to medium and beat for 30 seconds until creamy and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Spread or pipe the frosting onto the top of the cooled cake. Top with berries if desired.

Steps:
- Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. (The butter will become a lighter yellow color; this is an important step, as the job of the mixer is to incorporate air into the butter so the cake will rise. It will take 1 to 7 minutes, depending on the power of your mixer.) Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. (Again, the times will vary, and butter will turn to a fluffy white.) Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow yolk disappears.
- Add flour to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. (The batter should be smooth and bits of flour should be well incorporated; to rid batter of lumps, stir gently with a rubber spatula.) Stir in extracts.
- Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan. (Use vegetable shortening or butter to grease the pan, getting every nook and cranny covered. Sprinkle a light coating of flour over the greased surface.)
- Bake at 300°F for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
MILLIONAIRE'S CAKE
This cake is more of a layered torte, than a frosted cake. It is kept in the refrigerator and is very delicious. I have been making this cake for many years and recently made it for my nephew's 24th birthday. It is his favorite.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch pan.
- Drain pineapple. Put pineapple in a clean layered cheesecloth and wring out remaining juice. If pineapple is not well drained, it will make the filling runny.
- Mix and bake cake according to package instructions. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan. Discard or find another use for the remaining half of the batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes or until done. Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack.
- Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Slowly add milk, combining thoroughly. Add instant pudding and beat until thick. Pudding mixture will thicken when refrigerated. When cake is cool and pudding mixture is thickened you can assemble the cake. Spread pudding mixture on top of the cooled cake. Sprinkle drained pineapple over pudding. Carefully spread thawed frozen whipped topping over all. Sprinkle chopped walnuts over all. Refrigerate. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use the best quality ingredients you can find, especially the butter, cream cheese, and chocolate.
- Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them cream together smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cake from drying out.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- When making the frosting, be sure to use heavy cream that is at least 36% butterfat. This will help the frosting become thick and fluffy.
- Don't overbeat the frosting. Overbeating can make the frosting grainy.
- If you are using a chocolate ganache to top the cake, be sure to let it cool completely before pouring it over the cake. This will help prevent the ganache from running off the cake.

The Millionaire Pound Cake is a delicious and decadent cake that is perfect for any special occasion. With its rich flavor and moist texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. If you are looking for a truly special cake, the Millionaire Pound Cake is the perfect choice.
