Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325F (163C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.

  6. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and coconut milk to the batter, mixing until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in shredded coconut using a rubber spatula.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 70-80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Allow cooling for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, canned coconut milk, and coconut extract until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more sugar or coconut milk as necessary.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over your cooled pound cake so that it drips down the sides. Finish by sprinkling toasted or plain shredded coconut on top.
