Method
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Extracts:
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and coconut extract.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and sour cream until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the coconut milk mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in Coconut:
- Gently fold in the shredded coconut using a spatula. Do not overmix.
- Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake:
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Make the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, coconut milk, and coconut extract until smooth.
- Glaze the Cake:
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with additional shredded coconut if desired.
