Ingredients

Cake

3 cup all-purpose flour 360g
1 tsp baking powder 4g
½ tsp salt 3g
2 sticks unsalted Butter, softened, +extra for buttering pan 227g
½ cup vegetable shortening (crisco) 95g
3 cup granulated sugar 600g
5 large eggs
1 cup milk 240g
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp lemon extract
1 tsp rum extract
1 tsp butter extract

Instructions

Preheat over to 325°F.
In a medium bowl combine, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy. (Beat until mixture lightens and becomes a pale yellow)
Add eggs one at a time.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk by beginning on dry and ending on dry. (I usually add the flour mixture and milk in 3 additions.)
Butter a 10in Bundt or tube pan. Pour in batter. Tap pan on work surface to even out batter.
Bake for 60mins- 75mins (check at 1 hour mark)
Cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
To make glaze, combine powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and enough milk until glaze is the consistency of your liking.
Allow cake to cool in pan for about an hour. Remove cake from pan. Cake should still be slightly warm. Drizzle with glaze.
Enjoy!!
