Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (you may use lemon or almond flavoring instead)
Directions
Generously grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan. Do not preheat the oven. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add flour mixture and heavy cream to butter-sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in flavoring.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Put into a cold oven and set the temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes without opening the oven door. Bake for an additional 15 minutes if necessary. Remove from the oven and cool in pan for 15 minutes. Invert cake onto cake plate. For a real treat, serve yourself a slice while it's still warm.

I have tried several pound cake recipes but this one is now my 'go ti's recipe. I have used several variations on the flavor, such as making it a lemon pound cake w/a lemon glaze. Result is always AWESOME!!! However, I wanted to take a minute to share my new favorite flavor. Its the Five Flavor Pound Cake!!!!! Best pound cake EVER!!!! Using this same recipe, use 1 teaspoon each of the following flavors: Vanilla, Almond, Butter, Coconut and Rum. When the cake is done, prior to removing from pan, poke several holes and drizzle with maybe 1/4 cup of the following glaze recipe. After letting that soak in for about 15 mins, invert onto cake plate and pour remaining glaze over top. Yummy!!!! **For glaze, mix 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon of each of the 5 flavorings in small saucepan over med heat until sugar dissolves. Enjoy!!!
