Barbadian Plain Cake

Recipe View Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch Bundt pan to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. This ensures a light and airy texture. (3 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using a spatula or wooden spoon until light and fluffy. This incorporates air and creates a tender crumb. (8 minutes)

Recipe View Add the eggs all at once to the creamed mixture and beat well until fully incorporated. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of milk. Mix until just combined. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Stir in the remaining 1 cup of milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until smooth and the batter is well combined. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, ensuring it's evenly distributed. (1 minute)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Then, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (1 hour 15 minutes)

Recipe View Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)
