Coconut Pound Cake

Delicious coconut pound cake with a moist texture and sweet coconut topping. Perfect for dessert or.

Coconut Pound Cake is really a traditional tea cake.? And if you are thinking, ‘Well WTF is a tea cake as opposed to a normal cakey cake?’ – well I’ll tell you.? A tea cake is a light cake that doesn’t necessarily require icing but is just as good with a smear of butter instead.? Remember like Grandma used to serve cake to you as a child? This cake is just like that – it has a very light coconut icing – but meh – you don’t even NEED it at all.
