Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces high quality unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature

1
Preheat the oven to 325u00b0 F and butter and flour a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan.
2
In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
3
Cream the butter and sugar together until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and mixing for 30 seconds after each addition. Add the extracts and lemon zest.
4
Turn the mixer down to low and alternately add the flour and milk in three additions each. Do not over mix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
5
Bake the cake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 30 minutes, then turn the cake out onto the rack to cool completely. Store, wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature, for up to 4 days.
