This is impossibly moist and has layered flavors of coconut throughout. It's a snack time cake, or serve it for brunch or breakfast.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1½ cups butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract (I used 2)
- 1¾ cups flour
- 2 cups flaked unsweetened coconut
For the Coconut Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or more if you want it thinner)
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- ½ cup flaked unsweetened coconut, toasted, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Generously grease and flour a bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour and flaked coconut. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter & sugar. Add eggs and mix until mixture is light and fluffy. Add sour cream, baking powder and coconut extract. Mix well.
- Add half of the flour mixture to creamed mixture, mix well. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until well combined.
- Let cake batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Pour into prepared pan. Bake for for 60 - 70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 25 minutes. Invert onto serving plate.
- Frost with coconut glaze.
- For the glaze: Mix ingredients together. Pour on top of cake and let the glaze drizzle down the sides of the cake. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
