Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unsalted butter, (softened)
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon each vanilla, lemon, coconut, rum, and butter extract
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons half-and-half or milk
1/8 teaspoon each vanilla, lemon, coconut, rum, and butter extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan really well. I have the best luck with Baker's Baking spray with flour but some people like to coat the pan with shortening and then flour it.
  • Using an electric stand mixer, beat the butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy, at least 5 minutes. Be sure to stop the mixer part way through and scrape down the sides.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating until no yellow is visible before adding the next one. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure it is all mixed evenly.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together.Add the flour, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with flour and adding the flour in 3 additions and the milk in 2 additions.
  • Beat in the extracts.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan. Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet in case there is any overflow.
  • Bake for 75 to 85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with no crumbs or only dry crumbs. It should not be wet.
  • Let cool in pan for 15 minutes and then invert onto a cake stand or serving platter.
  • To make glaze, whisk together all ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

FIVE FLAVOR POUND CAKE



Five Flavor Pound Cake image

I just tried this cake for the first time at funeral in Chicago. After the first bite, I went in search of the cook and talked her out of the recipe. All those different extracts may sound strange, but trust me it is wonderful! At the bottom I have included Six Flavor Pound Cake and Seven Flavor Pound Cake variations. Also, you can make a 5 flavor cake with a 6 flavor glaze or any other combination.
