Zubereitung von Best Ever Five Flavored Southern Pound Cake
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 cup shortening until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 3 cups granulated sugar, creaming until light and fluffy (at least 10 minutes).
- Beat in 6 large eggs one at a time, until the mixture is pale yellow and lemon-colored.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon of each of your five favorite flavorings (vanilla, almond, lemon, etc.), beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into a well-greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a saucepan over low heat, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, pour the glaze evenly over the hot cake while it's still in the pan.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting onto a serving plate.
- For best results, allow the cake to sit overnight to enhance the flavors.
- The key is room temperature ingredients and thorough creaming of the butter, sugar, and eggs (at least 10 minutes!).
