Cold Oven Pound Cake

I've been making this mutual depression temperature oven pound cake for over 25 years too it has never failed me. It is a wonderful onetime recipe that y'all showtime baking inward a COLD oven. An hr too 5 minutes later, y'all guide keep perfection inward taste, texture, sweetness, wet too shape.

1 pound powdered carbohydrate (4 cups, come across note)

1/2 pound of butter (room temperature)

4 large eggs

3 cups all role flour (see note)

1 loving cup warm water

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon lemon extract

1 teaspoon kokosnoot extract

This recipe calls for 1 pound of powdered sugar, but that was an inconvenient standard for me, hence I got out my novel handy-dandy kitchen scale too (fluffed, scooped, leveled) it was precisely 4 cups.
DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN. Cream the room temperature butter too the powdered carbohydrate together with electrical mixer until it is rattling fluffy (this volition guide keep 2-3 minutes). Beat inward egg's i at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl betwixt eggs (to brand certain it gets mixed well).

In split upwardly bowl, mensurate out 3 cups of flour too stir inward the baking powder. NOTE: to measure each loving cup of flour, sift it into a cup too score off the exceed amongst a right away edge. If y'all simply dip your measuring loving cup into the flour, y'all volition live getting likewise much flour.

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternately, amongst the warm water. I unremarkably create this inward thirds. Stir inward extracts. The end season of the cake has a rattling mild lemon flavor, y'all won't actually gustation the kokosnoot extract, but it actually adds something to the overall season of the cake.
Pour cake batter into a good greased too floured 10" bundt pan (I occupation a cooking spray amongst flour inward it). Shake the pan simply a picayune to eliminate whatever pocket-size air pockets inward the batter.

Put pan into COLD oven. Turn the oven to 350°F too laid upwardly the timer for 1 hr too 5 minutes. Remove cake from oven too allow it sit down inward the pan (on a rack) for x minutes, too hence plough it out.
