1 c. butter, softened
3 c. sugar
6 lg. eggs
3 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. almond extract

Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until soft and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed 5 to 7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until yellow disappears.

Combine flour and soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix at lowest speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in flavorings.

Pour batter into a greased and floured tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.
