Step-By-Step Directions
1️⃣ Prepare the Batter
👉 Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a large bundt pan or tube pan to prevent sticking.
👉 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
👉 Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
2️⃣ Add the Eggs & Extracts
👉 Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
👉 Stir in the vanilla, lemon, almond, and coconut extracts, adjusting to taste.
3️⃣ Incorporate the Sweetened Condensed Milk
👉 Pour in the Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk and mix until the batter is smooth, thick, and well combined.
4️⃣ Bake to Perfection
👉 Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
👉 Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5️⃣ Cool & Serve
👉 Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then turn it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
👉 Slice, serve, and enjoy! 🍰
