  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk πŸ₯₯
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
  • Extra shredded coconut for topping πŸ₯₯

πŸ“ Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake Batter:

  1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  1. Mix the wet ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract, coconut milk, and sour cream until smooth.
  1. Combine dry ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  1. Add coconut and white chocolate:
  • Gently fold in the shredded coconut and white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

2. Bake the Cake:

  1. Pour into the pan:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  1. Bake:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil.
  1. Cool:
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Make the Glaze:

  1. Mix the glaze:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more coconut milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.

4. Glaze and Serve:

  1. Glaze the cake:
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle with extra shredded coconut on top for decoration.
  1. Serve:
  • Slice and serve your White Chocolate Coconut Pound Cake with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
