Description

A very moist coconut cake that is best 2 or 3 days after baking. The inside is very moist and the outside is a crunchy, sugary delight!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 cup Crisco Vegetable Oil
  • 2 cups Self-Rising Flour
  • 1 package (7 Oz) Angel Flake Coconut
  • 1-½ teaspoon Coconut Flavoring
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ½ cups Water
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Flavoring

Preparation

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.

OK sweetpeabakes – you will have to share what you did. I started a low-carb diet this week and would love to know the changes you made!

This cake was soooooooo good. Everyone must try this cake. After reading recordsmom’s review I decided to use half the glaze and the cake turned out great. Very easy to throw together and very moist. This is a seriously yummy cake. Thanks mimi2quads for posting.

Oh my goodness! This cake was really good. My husband and I loved it. I think the next time I make it, I’ll cut back on the amount of glaze I pour down into the cake. It was very moist already and the added glaze made it almost too wet, but make no mistake, I will make it again!
