White Almond Wedding Cake

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups almond buttercream frosting

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8 inch round cake pans.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk; stir until just blended.
4. Spread the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
5. Allow to cool in the pans for at least 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Frost the cooled cake with almond buttercream frosting.
