Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Generously grease and flour a Bundt pan or tube pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar, creaming them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
Add the sour cream, oil, water, vanilla extract, butter flavoring, and almond extract to the mixture, beating until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
4. Add the Eggs:
Introduce the eggs one at a time, ensuring to beat well after each addition. This process is crucial for achieving a fluffy and well-integrated batter.
5. Mix in Dry Ingredients:
Gradually incorporate the cake mix and all-purpose flour, mixing on a low speed. Take care not to overmix; stir just until the ingredients are combined.
6. Transfer Batter to Pan:
Evenly pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cake:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
