Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.75 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
  • 2 teaspoons rum flavoring
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour your bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add sugar and rum flavoring, and beat until fluffy. Incorporate eggs one at a time.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream. Fold in crushed pineapple.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Remove from oven, let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, remaining rum flavoring, and powdered sugar to make the glaze. Drizzle over cooled cake and enjoy!

Notes

This pound cake is versatile and can be served plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar. For added flavor, consider a splash of rum or vanilla extract in the batter.
