📋 Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 🥄
- 4 large eggs 🥚
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
- 1/2 cup coconut milk 🥥
- 1/2 cup sour cream 🥛
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 🌿
- 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut 🥥
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate 🍫
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar 🍚
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk 🥥
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
- Extra shredded coconut for topping 🥥
📝 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- Pour into the pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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:
- Glaze the cake:
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle with extra shredded coconut on top for decoration.
- Serve:
- Slice and serve your White Chocolate Coconut Pound Cake with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
