GLAZED COCONUT POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Cream sugar and Crisco.
• Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each.
• Add Flavoring.
• Sift dry ingredients together and add alternating with the milk--begin and end with the flour.
• Bake in greased and floured tube pan for 1 hour and 20 minutes. You might want to start checking on this after 1 hour - sometimes my cake is finished about then.
• When cake is almost finished, start making the glaze.
• To make the Glaze: Put all ingredients for the glaze in pot and cook over medium heat.
• Let mixture boil for 5 minutes. It will bubble so you will need to watch it carefully so it won't boil over onto your stove - trust me, you don't want that to happen.
• When removed from the oven, pour glaze over the cake while it is still in the pan and let sit at least 8 hours or overnight.
• To remove from the pan, place the cake in the oven at 250°F for 5 minutes or long enough to loosen to the sugar glaze surrounding the cake.
• The cake should slide out of the tube pan easily - if it does not, put it back into the oven for a few more minutes and then try again.

HEAVENLY COCONUT POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Beat together granulated sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until very fluffy and pale, about 8 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low and beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until combined, stopping to scrape down sides of the bowl as needed. (Mixture will look broken, but will come together when flour is added.) Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour and salt until just combined. Fold in 1 cup shredded coconut.
• Generously grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with butter; coat inside of pan with ¼ cup shredded coconut, tapping out excess. Pour batter into pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and cool completely, about 1 hour.
• For the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of the milk in a small bowl until smooth. If needed, whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, to create a pourable glaze consistency. Pour over cooled cake. Top with ¼ cup shredded coconut.
