Coconut Pound Cake Recipe

	Mrn / All my dishes 4 months, 3 weeks ago Extremely moist, icing-less cake with strong coconut flavor. Makes it's own sugar crust around the edge. I'm always asked for the recipe. Well worth the time. Make a day or night ahead. Prep:35524m Cook:60m Servings:12	Mrn

Ingredients

Cake:

1 c Shortening

2 c White Sugar

5 Eggs

2 Tbls Coconut Flavoring

2 c Flour

1 tsp Salt

1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1 c Buttermilk

3 1/2 oz Flake Coconut

Glaze:

1 c White Sugar

1/2 c Water

1 tsp Coconut Flavoring

Directions

Heat oven: 350. Grease & SUGAR bundt pan.

Cream shortening & sugar until fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating 2 minutes after each.

Add 2 Tbls flavoring. Beat on moderately high speed until above is very fluffy. Up to this point may take 15 - 20 minutes of mixing.

While above is mixing, sift together: flour, salt, & baking powder.

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.

Invert cake onto serving plate & serve. Cake may need to gently be loosened with a dull knife to break sugar crust from edge.
