Servings: 18
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon each vanilla, lemon, coconut, rum, and butter extract
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons half-and-half or milk
- 1/8 teaspoon each vanilla, lemon, coconut, rum, and butter extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan really well. I have the best luck with Baker's Baking spray with flour but some people like to coat the pan with shortening and then flour it.
- Using an electric stand mixer, beat the butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy, at least 5 minutes. Be sure to stop the mixer part way through and scrape down the sides.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating until no yellow is visible before adding the next one. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure it is all mixed evenly.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together.Add the flour, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with flour and adding the flour in 3 additions and the milk in 2 additions.
- Beat in the extracts.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan. Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet in case there is any overflow.
- Bake for 75 to 85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with no crumbs or only dry crumbs. It should not be wet.
- Let cool in pan for 15 minutes and then invert onto a cake stand or serving platter.
- To make glaze, whisk together all ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
