Buttermilk-Coconut Pound Cake

Beat eggs and sugar until well mixed. Add buttermilk and oil and mix well. Add flour and mix well. Add coconut and flavoring. Pour into a tube pan and bake at 350 until browned. (40 – 55 minutes, depending on your oven)

When the cake is almost done mix 1/2 cup water with 1 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut flavoring. (I also added a handfull of coconut to this – I had extra so I used it.)

Remove the cake from the oven and poke holes all over the top and pour the glaze over the top. Let the cake sit for 10 minutes and then remove from the pan. Cake is best 2 or 3 days after baking.
