- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Serving: 8-10
To make the Easter Pound Cake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with butter and dust with flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped almonds and dried apricots.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the cake is cool, dust it with powdered sugar and serve.
This Easter Pound Cake is a perfect dessert for any Easter celebration. It has a moist and tender crumb, with a subtle almond flavor and a hint of sweetness from the dried apricots. The chopped almonds add a nice crunch to the cake, making it a delicious and satisfying dessert.
