This easy pound cake recipe is kind of a twist on a five-flavor cake. Please customize it to suit your taste - just use a few or many of your favorite flavor combinations. For the best flavor, (very important step) make this cake two days before you plan to serve it. More homemade cake recipes at the bottom of the page... OLD FASHIONED TROPICAL POUND CAKE Cake: 3 cups flour, sifted 1/2 tsp baking powder dash of salt 1 cup butter 1/2 cup shortening 5 eggs, beaten 2-1/2 cups white sugar 1 cup milk 2 tsp pure mango extract 2 tsp pure rum extract 1 teaspoon each of the following extracts: homemade pure vanilla extract pure butter extract pure rum extract pure lemon extract pure almond extract pure pineapple extract Invisible Icing PREHEAT the oven to 325 degrees and you will need a greased tube or bundt pan. Now in a mixing bowl, cream the butter and shortening together. Add the sugar and beat well. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Now alternate adding the flour mixture and the flavored milk, making certain you beat well and end with the flour mixture. Pour into your prepared pan and bake for approximately 1-1/2 hours, testing with a toothpick until it is clean. I normally drizzle the cake with half of the icing right after it comes out of the oven. I let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes and then cool completely on a wire rack, and then drizzling with the rest of the glaze. Enjoy this homemade pound cake recipe.
