Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Eggs:

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Incorporate Buttermilk and Flavorings:

Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using). Gradually add the buttermilk, alternating with the dry ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Bake the Cake:

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake:

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze:

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
Serve and Enjoy:

Slice the pound cake and serve it with your favorite beverage. Enjoy the fluffy, moist goodness!
