Big thanks to Mary Lou (and her Mother-in-Law) for sharing this delicious cake with us! The aroma of coconut permeated the entire Test Kitchen as it was baking. This recipe is everything you expect in a pound cake. It is a moist cake with a dense, yet tender, crumb with the perfect amount of coconut flavors running throughout. What a delight!

- Note: You can make a glaze of powdered sugar, milk and a small amount of coconut flavoring. Also, if you want to add toasted coconut, put shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes.
