Anna Mae's Notes:

Here's another pound cake I've made many times and is always a big hit. If you love coconut, you will really like this cake. It's great with a cup of coffee or tea with family or friends--anytime.
Enjoy !!

 

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 325. Grease and SUGAR a 12 to 15 cup tube or bundt pan with Crisco and sugar.
In large mixer bowl, beat butter and Crisco at medium speed until creamy. Add sugar beating until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, sift. Add flour mixture alternately with milk (I add the flavorings to the milk so I don't forget them), beginning and ending with flour. Beat well after each addition, which is actually just until blended. Add the shredded coconut and fold it through the batter with cake spatula.
Bake until cake tester comes out clean which is about 1 hour 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest in pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto plate to cool. Sprinkle top with powdered sugar when cool. I also sprinkle a little powdered sugar on each slice before serving. Enjoy !!!!

Jan, I spent the better part of the day on the phone trying to get help. I can use it, but I have to type every web site into the search engine to pull it up. They are replacing the hard drive because the software is working erradically. So in 2 or 3 business days someone will be here to install the new hard drive then we have to install the software.

I have such a headache from all the frustration.

Good for you on your news from Sears.

Thanks for asking.

Glad you at least got the thing up & running...but having to type in each site is a pain...mine did that once, it wasn't the computer, it had something to do with the internet connection! Guess they had a glitch and was causing major headaches...but if they will replace hard drive, that's good...loading software shouldn't be bad, it's all on cds, right? What brand isyour computer? Curious!
Sears...lol, talked to them twice today, news gets good and then gets better...still need to update that post...I've been on phone nmore today than anything else, it's been cutting into my JAP time...lol.
Hope all is well by midweek at the latest!!
Jan

It's a Dell, but it's BRAND NEW and has only been connected a little over a week. That's enough to make a person disgusted.

The supervisor in India said it could've been a power surge, but I doubt that, because if it was that you would think it wouldn't work at all.

Thank you for being so concerned.

those ppl in India know squat...if it isn't on a computer screen to be read, they can't think for themselves...believe me, Sears outsources to India, Phillipines and China...they teach just enough but not anything more..
Dell is a good name, maybe you just got a lemon...it can happen.
Just so they get it fixed for you!!! ♥

He said he checked it out and mechanically it's working perfectly, so I don't know. This is absolutely mind boggling.

Get this tho'--I asked to speak to someone in the United States and he said that it would cost me big money to be transferred. That makes NO SENSE to me at all. I'm calling from the US on an 800 number and to speak to an American English speaking person in the US it would cost me big dollars??????

For all of this I lost a days vacation, cause I got nothing done at home, and got a headache too.

Usually, you get free tech support for a certain period of time...but after that, you do have to pay (using a credit card) for support, even on the 800 number. He should have transferred you to US person anyhow...that is unacceptable! If it was me, I'd call Dell and complain, but it probably wouldn't do any good cause you don't know who to complain about by name! It irritates me that companies outsource their cs work, cause it isn't helping their business, just their bottom line...dumb huh?
