FIVE FLAVOR POUND CAKE
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.

Steps:
- 1. 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a tube pan. 2. Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt. 3. Cream butter or margarine, oil, and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in flour mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix well. Stir in 1 teaspoon each coconut flavoring, butter flavoring, rum extract, lemon extract, and vanilla extract. Pour batter into prepared pan. 4. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until cake tests done. 5. In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and 1 teaspoon each coconut flavoring, butter flavoring, rum extract, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Boil until the sugar has dissolved completely. Spoon over hot cake. Cool cake.
Tips:
- Use unsalted butter: To ensure the pound cake isn't too salty, opt for unsalted butter.
- Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cake. Continue creaming until the mixture is light and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the eggs one at a time: Adding the eggs too quickly can cause the mixture to curdle. To prevent this, beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is the traditional pan used for pound cake. Its fluted sides help create a beautiful crust.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is done. The toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.
Conclusion:
Five-flavor pound cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed on any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and flavorful glaze, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
