Triple Coconut Pound Cake
My Triple Coconut Pound Cake is a triple threat coconut cake for serious coconut lovers only ~ this moist loaf cake goes from breakfast to dessert!
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
for the pound cake
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (12 Tablespoons) at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup full fat canned coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp coconut extract
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
for the glaze
- 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 4-5 Tbsp coconut milk, to thin
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- shredded sweetened coconut for topping
Instructions
- Set oven to 350F. Spray and line a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan with a sling of parchment paper. The paper will allow you to easily lift out the bread for glazing after baking.
- Cream the butter and sugar together well, for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl, alternately with the coconut milk and extracts. Fold in the shredded coconut.
- Turn the batter into your prepared pan. Smooth out the top and bake for about 60-65 minutes until risen, golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter clinging to it. (Moist crumbs are ok) Note: loosely tent with foil toward the end of cooking if the cake seems to be browning too quickly.
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack. Let cool completely before glazing.
- Make the glaze by mixing the confectioner's sugar and extract with enough coconut milk to make a thick spreadable glaze. Stir in a pinch of salt and the extract for flavor. Spread the cooled cake thickly with the glaze, and top with more shredded coconut.
- Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
