My mother-in-law always makes this pound cake for holidays. That makes this cake very special, but it really could be made any time of the year! Even people who don't like the texture of coconut love this cake because the only coconut in it is the flavoring.

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c butter
½ c margarine
6 eggs
3 c sugar
3 C. flour
¼ t baking soda
½ t coconut extract
1 carton sour cream
1 c. coconut
¾ c sugar
¾ c water
1 t almond extract

Steps:

  • Mix butter and margarine, add sugar and cream 10 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Stir flour with soda and add alternately with sour cream. Fold in coconut and coconut extract. Pour into a greased tube pan and bake at 325 degrees for 1 ½ hours. Freezes well. Make the sauce: combine the sugar, water, and almond extract and boil five minutes. Pour over cake or serve separately.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and creates a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and coconut oil together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the batter, which makes the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the sugar gradually. This prevents the sugar from crystallizing and making the cake grainy.
  • Beat the eggs one at a time. This helps to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the flour and sour cream alternately. This helps to prevent the batter from becoming too tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This helps to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This helps to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Sour cream coconut pound cake is a moist, flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and toppings. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sour cream and coconut milk. The cake is also a good source of protein and fiber.
