Incorporate Eggs and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

-
Add Coconut Flakes:
- Fold in the flaked coconut gently until evenly distributed in the batter.
-
Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
- Grease a tube pan (or use a loaf pan if a tube pan isn’t available), ensuring it’s well coated to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If using a loaf pan instead of a tube pan, reduce the baking time by about 15 minutes and check for doneness accordingly.
-
Cooling and Serving:
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Recipe Notes:
- This Coconut Pound Cake is a delightful dessert that combines the richness of butter and eggs with the tropical flavor of coconut. It’s perfect for various occasions, from everyday treats to festive gatherings like Christmas.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing and baking.
- You can optionally garnish the cake with additional coconut flakes or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving for added texture and presentation.
