Five Flavor Pound Cake

This pound cake is special and one of the best that you will ever bake, it has the flavours of coconuts, rum, butter, vanilla and lemon. It is a crazy combination for a cake, but it works, and the cake will amaze you. Start by adding softened butter to a large bowl together with sugar, then blend them until nice and creamy.Add in 5 large eggs and beat them in, then for the dry ingredients, add baking powder, salt, and then add all five extracts. You will add five teaspoons of each of the flavours that are vanilla, coconut, rum, butter and lemon.

Blend everything into the butter mixture, then you will add three cups of flour and one cup of milk. You will do this in three additions, alternating the flour and the milk until they are well combined and the batter is whipped to smooth.

For this recipe, I will use the bundt pan, but you can use any type of pan that you have. Make sure you butter the pan well, then lightly flour the pan so that your cake comes out cleanly. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth it. Then get your oven preheated to 340 degrees Fahrenheit, and you will bake the cake for about 65 to 70 minutes.

Once baked, allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then flip it onto a plate and let it cool completely. For the gaze, which is optional, take one cup of powdered sugar into a jar together with a quarter of a cup of heavy cream and five teaspoons of each extract used in the cake.

Whisk that together until you achieve the desired consistency, then take the cake and drizzle over the glaze. Make sure the cake is completely cooled before glazing, or else the glaze will melt and run over the cake and not stick. This is a very beautiful cake that is delicious just on its own.
