  • Cream shortening & sugar until fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating 2 minutes after each.

  • Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk.
  • Blend in flake coconut.
  • Pour into prepared bundt pan.
  • Bake until test stick removes clean. Approximately 60 minutes.
  • Remove cake from oven & leave in pan. Poke numerous holes deep into cake.
  • Towards the end of baking, prepare glaze by bringing sugar, water and flavoring to a boil. Boil one minute.
  • Pour boiling mixture slowly & evenly all over cake.
  • Allow cake to cool completely in pan, at least five hours. If possible cover with a tea towel and let cake remain in pan over night to best absorb all of the glaze.
