12-16 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour 25 min. + cooling

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup chopped black walnuts
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together flour and baking powder; add alternately to creamed mixture with milk and extracts, beating on low speed just until combined. Fold in nuts.
Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 325° for about 1 hour 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan to cool completely.
In a small bowl, combine frosting ingredients; spread over cake. Yield: 12-16 servings.
