How to Make Five Flavor Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate measuring cup, combine 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon each of vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon extract, peppermint extract, and orange extract.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup shortening, and 3 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the milk mixture to the creamed mixture alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is still warm, pour half of the glaze over the top.
- Let the cake sit for 5 more minutes before pouring the remaining glaze over the top.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
- To make the five-flavor glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, and ½ teaspoon each of vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon extract, peppermint extract, and orange extract.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring over the cake.
