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 package light brown sugar , 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

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

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.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
