Deluxe Pound Cake with Glaze

Let butter and Crisco come to room temperature. Cream with sugar until light and puffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating them 1 minute each. Add flavorings.

Mix dry ingredients. Add to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake 325 degrees until cake is done, about 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan. Poke holes in the bottom of the cake for the glaze to soak through.

Glaze instructions:
Combine sugar, water, rum and almond flavorings in a sauce pan and cook for 15 minutes. Pour over the cooled cake.
