HOW TO MAKE COCONUT CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
This Coconut Cream Cheese Pound Cake is one of our all-time favorites, and it’s ridiculously simple to put together. This pound cake is baked in a loaf pan, making it the ideal dessert for serving a small group of guests. Perfect for a brunch get-together and pairs well with coffee. This cake is prepared using cream cheese and eggs, which will cause it to be moist and thick due to the combination of those two ingredients. Pound cakes are a kind of dense cake. If you are a fan of coconut, you shouldn’t hesitate to give this cake a go.
This Coconut Cream Cheese Pound Cake is a fantastically rich and thick pound cake that keeps its flavor for days even after being baked. Lots of delicious coconut flavor! This cake is sweet, but not in an excessive way, just as a good pound cake should be. And there is certainly no need for a glaze. Already, there is an abundant supply of taste and sweetness. If you want to give it a little more flair, all you have to do is dust it with a little powdered sugar. The taste of coconut is achieved by using both shredded coconut and coconut extract.
It would go well as a sweet treat, a light snack, or even for breakfast over a cup of coffee. The top develops a deliciously crisp crust. My absolute favorite portion of a pound cake is the center.
