Five Flavor Cake

Submitted by Tasty Buds

"A pound cake with lots of flavor and the most scrumptous "crust". My grandmother, Nanna, gave me this recipe. The first time I tried it the flavor was awesome but the cake did not set well on the bottom. Next time I will try a little less shortening and see what happens."
