(Reply to a request) This is an old recipe from my M-I-L which was frequently used for birthday cakes. The coconut is in the batter, not on the frosting. Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour |
2 cups sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 1/2 cups milk |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract or 1/2 teaspoon coconut flavoring |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
3. In a bowl combine flour, sugar and baking powder.
4. Add milk, butter, vanilla and coconut flavoring.
5. Beat with mixer on low speed until combined.
6. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
7. Add eggs and beat 2 minutes more.
8. Gently stir coconut into batter.
9. Pour batter into two prepared pans.
10. Bake at 375°F for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
11. Cool wire on racks for 10 minutes.
12. Remove from pans and cool completely on racks.
13. When completely cooled, frost with your favorite frosting.
