Five Flavor Pound Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 1 teaspoon butter extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or tube pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the milk with all five extracts (vanilla, coconut, rum, butter, and lemon).
- Alternate Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy! This cake is delicious on its own or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple glaze.
Tips:
- Extracts: The combination of extracts gives this cake its unique flavor. Feel free to adjust the amounts slightly to suit your taste.
- Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- Glaze (Optional): For an extra touch, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and a splash of vanilla extract.
Enjoy this rich, moist, and flavorful pound cake! ❤️
