Barbadian Cake, Barbados Recipes

Enjoy this lovely pound cake cold with hot tea or a tall glass of milk. We loved the addition of maraschino cherries and wished we would have added more (we only added about 20 chopped cherries). A yummy cake 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 cups butter
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups all−purpose flour
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon almond extract
2 cups milk

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease and flour one 9 or 10 inch bundt pan. 

2. By hand, with a spatula, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 

3. Add eggs all at once and beat well. Sift the flour and the baking powder together. Add to butter mixture along with 1 cup of the milk. Continue to beat well (the batter will be doughy).

4. Add the remaining 1 cup of milk along with the vanilla and almond extracts. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

5. Bake at 400F for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 350F and continue baking for
15 minutes longer.
