How to Make Cindy's Coconut Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the shredded coconut and milk.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
