Deluxe Pound Cake

Ingredients:
2 sticks of butter
1 stick of margarine
3 cups of sugar
5 eggs
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
3 cups flour
1 tsp rum flavoring
2 tsp coconut flavoring

Directions:
Cream butter, margarine, and sugar.  Add eggs one at a time beating one minute after each egg addition.  Add baking powder and salt.  Add flour alternating with milk beginning with the flour.  Don't beat excessively.  Add flavorings.  Grease tube or bunt pan with butter and dust with sugar or flour.  Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.  Let cool for 10 mins then with a plate on top of cake pan, turn over to release cake from pan.

Glaze:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tsp almond flavoring

Directions:
Mix sugar and water in a sauce pan.  Bring to a boil while stirring.  Cool slightly then add flavoring.  Put cake in pan.  Punch holes in cake (I use a chop stick) and pour glaze over cake.  Invert cake back onto plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
