Five Flavor Pound Cake

Print Recipe

A classic Southern pound cake infused with five complementary flavor extracts: vanilla, butter, rum, coconut, and lemon. This rich and tender cake is topped with a simple powdered sugar glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon butter extract
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter extract for glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon rum extract for glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract for glaze
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract for glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together softened butter and sugar on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix on low speed.
  6. Add vanilla, butter, rum, coconut, and lemon extracts one at a time, mixing until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow cake to cool in the pan until warm to the touch, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. For glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, butter extract, rum extract, coconut extract, and lemon extract until smooth.
  11. Drizzle glaze over completely cooled cake.

Notes

Room temperature eggs and butter blend more smoothly and create a tender crumb. The five extracts can be adjusted to taste preferences. Allow the cake to cool completely before applying the glaze for best results.
