Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups sherry
9 ounces raisins
2 cups sugar
3 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
7 ounces unsweetened shredded coconut
1 pound cake (see recipe)
10 eggs, separated
2 teaspoons powdered cinnamon
Butter for greasing cake pan

Steps:

  • Soak the raisins in sherry. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a saucepan, combine sugar, water and cinnamon sticks. Cook over medium heat until the mixture forms a thick syrup. Add coconut, stir well, and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
  • Grate the pound cake into a large mixing bowl. Beat the egg yolks, and add them to the pound cake along with the coconut mixture, the raisins and sherry and the powdered cinnamon.
  • Butter a 10-inch-diameter spring-form cake pan.
  • Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into the pan, and bake for about 1 hour or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this cake. It was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was the perfect complement.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cake was dry and the frosting was too sweet. I won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
