Preparation
Step 1
Cream butter, shortening and sugar together in a large bowl.
Beat in eggs one at a time along with the butter extract.
In a small bowl, combine salt, baking powder, and flour and stir to evenly combine. Add alternately with ½ cup sparkling cider to the wet ingredients and beat until well incorporated.
Pour into a greased and floured 9 inch by 5 inch loaf pan.
Bake at 325 degrees F for about 60-70 minutes or until the top is golden brown and until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
Glaze
In a medium bowl, whisk sparkling cider and powdered sugar until smooth consistency is reached. Poor over cooled pound cake.
