Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut (6 oz), toasted and cooled

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Butter a 9- by 5- by 3-inch loaf pan and dust with flour, knocking out excess flour.
  • Whisk together flour (2 cups), baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes with a stand mixer or 8 to 10 minutes with a handheld. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in extracts. Reduce speed to low, then mix in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in coconut gently but thoroughly with a rubber spatula.
  • Spoon batter evenly into loaf pan, smoothing top. Bake until golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted into center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
  • Cool cake in pan on a rack 15 minutes. Run a thin knife around edge of cake, then invert onto rack and cool completely.

5 stars! This cake is amazing! It's moist and fluffy, with the perfect amount of coconut flavor. I've made it several times now and it's always a hit.

This recipe is a disaster. I followed the instructions exactly and the cake turned out raw and inedible.

This cake is so easy to make and it always turns out perfectly. It's moist and flavorful, and the coconut flavor is just right. I love serving it with fresh fruit or whipped cream.

I was excited to try this recipe, but it was a complete failure. The cake was dry and dense, and the coconut flavor was barely there.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out terrible. It was dense and gummy.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the coconut flavor was artificial.
