Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, club soda, oil and almond extract; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

FOR THE GLAZE:

  1. Once the cake is completely cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the confectioners sugar, milk, almond extract, and salt until there are no lumps. If it seems too thick, add a small amount of milk to thin to desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a small amount of confectioners sugar to thicken. Drizzle over the cake.

Notes

  • Covered loosely, this cake will keep at room temperature for about 2 days. To extend the life of your cake, store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. 
  • To Freeze: Allow the cake to cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months. The glaze might not look as pretty when it's thawed, so if you're prepping ahead to serve the cake to guests, I recommend waiting to glaze the cake just before serving.
