I noticed that there is no baking power / soda in this. What will aid its rising?

Serve it with fruit and whipped cream or try it with the orange glaze recipe included here. Serves: 12 Cooking Time: 1 hr 40 min Ingredients 1 pound butter, softened 3 cups sugar 6 eggs 4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup milk 1 teaspoon almond extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Orange glaze (optional) Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan. 2. In a large bowl, cream the butter; gradually add sugar, beating with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. 3. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Gradually add flour alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour and mixing well after each addition. Mix in almond and vanilla extracts. 4. Pour batter into pan and bake 1 hour and 40 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 to 15 minutes then remove to a wire rack. When completely cool, drizzle with Orange Glaze, if desired. Orange Glaze Makes about 1/2 cup 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar 2 tablespoons orange juice 1. In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and orange juice with a wire whisk until smooth. 2. Drizzle over cooled cake, or almost any cool or room temperature cake or cookies. Notes Serving Tip: This is a nice, moist cake, so it's great served as is but it can also be topped with almost anything from fresh fruit to whipped cream to ice cream.
