Granny'S Five-Flavor Pound Cake
- Nonstick baking spray
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons, at room temperature
- 2-1/2 cups sugar
- 6 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- Sift the flour into a large bowl, then measure 3 cups sifted flour back into the sifter. Add the baking soda and salt and sift into a clean bowl. Return any remaining flour to your flour container.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. With the mixer on medium, add the eggs one at a time, completely incorporating each egg before adding the next. Stop and scrape down the bowl.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour in thirds, alternating with the sour cream and beginning and ending with the flour. Continue beating for 2 minutes on medium speed, stopping to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl occasionally. Add the extracts one at a time, completely incorporating each before adding the next. Continue beating until the batter is shiny, about 4 minutes.
- Pour the batter into the cake pan. Bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. It will smell really, really good.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then unmold onto the rack. Let the cake cool completely. The cake will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
