Grease and flour a 10" Bundt pan or 9" tube pan.

Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. the mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in extracts with the last egg.
