Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups white sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon coconut extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 cups flaked coconut
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Beat butter and cream cheese together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until blended; add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs one at a time, then stir in coconut extract. Mix in flour and baking powder until just moistened; stir in flaked coconut. Spoon batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes; run a table knife around the edges to loosen, then invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.
Recipe Tip
This cake recipe also does well baked in layers. It will make three 8-inch layers or one 10-inch layer and one 6-inch layer. Reduce the baking time if making it as a layer cake, but keep the temperature the same.
