Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 10-inch tube pan. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla, almond, lemon, coconut, and rum extracts. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk.
Mix until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
