Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and coconut milk.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the shredded coconut.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the coconut pound cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
