Crush coconut in blender to coarse consistency. Set aside.
In large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add egg whites and beat well. Blend in coconut flavoring and vanilla.
Gradually add combined flour, baking powder and coconut to butter mixture. Mix just until thoroughly blended. Pour into greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan.

Note: To toast coconut, spread on shallow baking sheet and toast at 325 degrees 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to toast evenly.
