Preheat oven to 325°
-
Generously grease a 10-12 cup Bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the cake flour, salt, ground coriander if using, and the baking powder, set aside.
-
Using a stand mixer or handheld, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
-
Add the cream cheese and beat on high speed until completely smooth and combined, about 2 minutes. You are trying to whip in air to help raise this cake.
-
Add the sugar and beat on high speed until combined and the sugar crystals have begun to dissolve about 2 minutes.
-
Then add the sour cream, vanilla, and almond extracts. Beat on high speed until combined and creamy. Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a spatula to make sure it has all been incorporated.
-
On medium-low speed, beat the eggs in 1 at a time, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next.
-
Stop the mixer and add the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat on medium speed until combined. Do not overmix.
-
Using a spatula, give the batter a final turn to make sure there are no lumps at the bowl's bottom. The batter will be thick and very creamy.
-
Spread the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing out the top and giving the pan a slight drop from a couple of inches to eliminate any large air pockets.
-
Bake for 75-95 minutes. Or until the cake is golden brown, and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. You want this cake to bake slowly.
-
Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
-
To Make the glaze.
-
Combine the powdered sugar, cream or milk and the vanilla and drizzle over the cake.
