Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- 1 tsp butter extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract (optional for extra aroma)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
- Beat in each egg individually into the creamed mixture. Mix well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Mix in all extracts—vanilla, lemon, almond, coconut, and butter—until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture and whole milk. Start with dry ingredients and end with them. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more sugar for thickness or more milk for thinness.
- Drizzle your prepared glaze over the cooled cake so it drips down beautifully along the sides.
