My grandchildren love this cake. Ingredients:
2 cups white sugar |
1 cup butter |
5 eggs |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 cup milk |
3 1/2 ounces flaked coconut |
1 teaspoon coconut extract |
1 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup water |
1 teaspoon coconut extract |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 2 cups sugar and the butter. Fold in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each one before adding another.
3. In separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, milk, flaked coconut, and 1 teaspoon coconut extract. Beat into the creamed mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
4. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for just a few minutes, then place on cake platter.
5. To make the glaze, mix together in a small saucepan 1 cup sugar, water, 1 teaspoon coconut extract, and walnuts. Boil for 1 minute, and pour over still warm cake.
