Preparation

Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, combine the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour and milk alternately, beginning and ending with the flour. Stir in the lemon extract. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.

Place pan in a cold oven and heat oven to 325˚F. Bake cake for 1 hour.

Increase the oven temperature to 350˚F and bake 30 minutes more.

Cook’s Note: Do not open the oven door while baking.

Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool. Serve garnished with berries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside.
