Not sure where this brown sugar cake recipe came from. My mom passed it to me many years ago. We use it as a great holiday favorite, but I usually sneak it in a couple of times a year. It's a great treat to bring to a party or work. The brown sugar and almond extract give it a distinctive taste.

Ingredients

  • 1 , 16 ounce
  • 2 sticks butter , at room temperature
  • 3 eggs
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan.

  2. 2

    Combine brown sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  3. 3

    Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir vanilla and almond extract into buttermilk. Add flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to creamed butter mixture, beating well between additions. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
