Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in the vanilla, lemon, coconut, rum, and almond extracts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can lead to a dry cake.
  • For an extra citrusy kick, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
  • This cake freezes well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for up to 3 months.
