How to Make Coconut Pound Cake Using Coconut Milk

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut.
  4. Add 4 large eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the coconut milk mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. **Optional Brown Sugar Toasted Coconut Glaze:** In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Add ½ cup packed light brown sugar and stir constantly until dissolved.
  10. Stir in ½ cup toasted coconut flakes, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons coconut milk (optional). Remove from heat and let cool slightly before drizzling over the cooled cake.
