Italian Ciambellone

The only way to describe this is it's like a pound cake, Italian Style. My family always made it to celebrate the new year, and men love it!

1 c. sugar
3 eggs
4 tbs. butter
1 c. milk
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. anise seed
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. anise extract
3 ¼ c. flour
Mix all ingredients well. Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hr. or until done.
