Coconut Pound Cake with Lime Glaze image

This pound cake is the best! Oven temps will vary, so if the cake is not done after 1 hour and 20 minutes, continue baking in 5-minute intervals. Use fresh, not bottled, lime juice for the glaze. -Jo McFarland, Sterling, Virginia

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try making it again with less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a big fan of coconut cake, but this one was really good. The lime glaze really helps to balance out the sweetness of the cake.

This cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a bundt pan, and the glaze drizzled down the sides perfectly. It was a real showstopper.
