Five Flavor Pound Cake

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch tube pan.

Step 2
Combine flour and baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside. Combine milk and extracts in a liquid measure; set aside.

Step 3
Cream sugar, butter, and shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in flour mixture alternately with milk mixture in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Spoon mixture into the prepared pan.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

Step 5
While cake is cooling, make glaze: Combine sugar, water, and extracts in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved.

Step 6
Turn cake out onto the wire rack. Place waxed paper under the rack to catch glaze drippings. Slowly spoon glaze over the top of hot cake. Cool completely.
