My grandchildren love this recipe for a coconut-flavored pound cake.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 5 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ cup milk
- 3 ½ ounces flaked coconut
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together 2 cups sugar and the butter. Fold in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each one before adding another.
Step 3
In separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, milk, flaked coconut, and 1 teaspoon coconut extract. Beat into the creamed mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for just a few minutes, then place on cake platter.
Step 5
To make the glaze, mix together in a small saucepan 1 cup sugar, water, 1 teaspoon coconut extract, and walnuts. Boil for 1 minute, and pour over still warm cake.
