3 cups sugar

Beat butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until the yellow disappears after each addition. Add extracts, beating just until blended. Gradually add flour, beating at low speed until combined. Add milk, beating until smooth. Pour batter into a greased and floured 12-cup **Bundt pan.

**I actually cut this recipe in half for the small amount of "Cakelets" I wanted to make for Spring Break. This recipe cut in half makes one pan of the Nordic ware Cakelets.
