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.

Provided by Christin Mahrlig

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.

BEST EVER FIVE FLAVORED SOUTHERN POUND CAKE



Best Ever Five Flavored Southern Pound Cake image

This is DIVINE. Got this from my mom's neighbor and had to get the recipe after she brought it over and we devoured it!

Provided by Shabby Sign Shoppe

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup butter
1/2 cup Crisco
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon flavoring
1 teaspoon butter flavoring
1 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1 teaspoon rum flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon flavoring
1 teaspoon butter flavoring
1 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1 teaspoon rum flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring

Steps:

  • Cream butter and Crisco.
  • Add 3 cups sugar and cream again (10 minutes - minimum). Beat eggs until lemon color - add to mixture.
  • Sift together: flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Alternate milk and 1 tsp all flavorings w/sifted dry ingredients. Pour into a greased and floured 10" tube pan.
  • Bake 325° for 1 ½ hours or until cake tests done or depending on oven.
  • Dissolve glaze ingredients over low heat in a saucepan. Spoon glaze over cake in pan while hot. Let cool in pan. Keep well and it is better after 1st day.
  • NOTE: Put out the butter, Crisco and eggs the night before. The key is that everything is room temperature and you beat the butter, sugar and eggs at least the 10 minutes. After that you only beat enough to mix the dry ingredients.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter mix together smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before measuring it: This will help ensure that you have the correct amount of flour and that it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Cool the cake completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
