Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0; prepare 12-cup Bundt pan using butter and flour or Baker's Joy; set aside.
Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground almonds together; set aside.
In a big bowl, beat the butter with 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the almond and vanilla extracts.
Stir in the flour mixture alternating with the milk, mixing only until blended; pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a pick comes out clean.
Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
Cool 10 minutes longer; place the rack over wax paper to catch the topping drippings.
Make the topping: add all ingredients to a saucepan; bring to a boil.
Decrease heat and stir until sugar dissolves and the mixture is slightly thickened.
Pour the topping over the warm cake and serve warm or at room temperature.
