Indulge in a symphony of flavors with our exquisite Five-Flavor Pound Cake, a culinary masterpiece that tantalizes the taste buds with its perfect balance of sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, and salty notes. This moist and dense cake is a delightful treat that embodies the essence of harmony and complexity.

This article presents two variations of the Five-Flavor Pound Cake: the Classic Five-Flavor Pound Cake and the Gluten-Free Five-Flavor Pound Cake. Both recipes share the same foundational ingredients, including eggs, sugar, butter, and flour, but they diverge in their unique flavor profiles.

The Classic Five-Flavor Pound Cake showcases the traditional combination of spices and extracts that create the distinctive five-flavor symphony. Ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and freshly grated nutmeg provide warmth and depth, while lemon zest and vanilla extract add brightness and sweetness.

In contrast, the Gluten-Free Five-Flavor Pound Cake offers a lighter and more contemporary take on this classic dessert. Almond flour and coconut flour replace traditional wheat flour, resulting in a moist and tender crumb. Additionally, this variation incorporates orange zest and almond extract, imparting a subtle citrusy and nutty flavor.

Both recipes promise an unforgettable culinary experience, whether you prefer the comforting familiarity of the Classic Five-Flavor Pound Cake or the innovative charm of the Gluten-Free version.

I just tried this cake for the first time at funeral in Chicago. After the first bite, I went in search of the cook and talked her out of the recipe. All those different extracts may sound strange, but trust me it is wonderful! At the bottom I have included Six Flavor Pound Cake and Seven Flavor Pound Cake variations. Also, you can make a 5 flavor cake with a 6 flavor glaze or any other combination.

BEST EVER FIVE FLAVORED SOUTHERN POUND CAKE



Best Ever Five Flavored Southern Pound Cake image

This is DIVINE. Got this from my mom's neighbor and had to get the recipe after she brought it over and we devoured it!

Provided by Shabby Sign Shoppe

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup butter
1/2 cup Crisco
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon flavoring
1 teaspoon butter flavoring
1 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1 teaspoon rum flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon flavoring
1 teaspoon butter flavoring
1 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1 teaspoon rum flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring

Steps:

  • Cream butter and Crisco.
  • Add 3 cups sugar and cream again (10 minutes - minimum). Beat eggs until lemon color - add to mixture.
  • Sift together: flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Alternate milk and 1 tsp all flavorings w/sifted dry ingredients. Pour into a greased and floured 10" tube pan.
  • Bake 325° for 1 ½ hours or until cake tests done or depending on oven.
  • Dissolve glaze ingredients over low heat in a saucepan. Spoon glaze over cake in pan while hot. Let cool in pan. Keep well and it is better after 1st day.
  • NOTE: Put out the butter, Crisco and eggs the night before. The key is that everything is room temperature and you beat the butter, sugar and eggs at least the 10 minutes. After that you only beat enough to mix the dry ingredients.

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and flavorful pound cake, use high-quality, room-temperature ingredients.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Stir in any desired flavorings, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or citrus zest. For the five-flavor pound cake, add the Chinese five-spice powder.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt or loaf pan. Bake the cake according to the recipe instructions, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  • Serve the pound cake plain or with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fruit, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

With its moist and tender crumb, rich flavor, and beautiful presentation, the five-flavor pound cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can create a delicious and impressive pound cake that will surely be a hit with your family and friends.
