Ingredients:
For the cake:
3 cups all-purpose flour 

½ tsp baking powder 

½ tsp salt 

1 cup unsalted butter, softened 

½ cup shortening 

3 cups granulated sugar 

5 large eggs 

1 cup whole milk 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

1 tsp lemon extract 

1 tsp almond extract 

1 tsp coconut extract 

1 tsp rum extract 

For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar 

2-3 tbsp milk 

½ tsp vanilla extract 

½ tsp lemon extract 

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan. 


In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 


In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, shortening, and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes). 




Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. 


Mix in the vanilla, lemon, almond, coconut, and rum extracts. 








Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in thirds, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix. 




Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 1 hour and 15-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. 




In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed. 




Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pound cake. Slice and enjoy this moist, flavorful Southern classic!
