Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for another 2 minutes at medium high speed. If using, fold in the coconut here.
• Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula, and place the pan in the oven.
• Bake the cake until it is golden brown and the top springs back when lightly pressed with a finger, about 47 to 53 minutes. Transfer the Bundt pan to a wire rack and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
