Coconut Pound Cake

Recipe Link: http://wwrecipes.com

List of Ingredients




6 eggs
1 cup of butter (2 sticks)
1/2 cup of solid shortening (Crisco)
3 cups of sugar
3 cups of "plain" flour, sifted
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup of evaporated milk
6 oz. fresh grated coconut OR frozen coconut
1 Tbs. coconut extract

Recipe



Combine and cream well the butter, Crisco and sugar. Add one egg at a time and beat well until all 6 are added. Add milk and flour alternately until thoroughly mixed. Add baking power and beat well. Add coconut and extract and beat well.

Heavily grease the inside of a tube pan. Pour batter in and place in a COLD oven -- turn heat to 350 degrees and bake 1 1/2 hours or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean (Grandmama used a stick of spaghetti!). Check the cake after 1 hour -- if the top is brown, cover with tin foil to prevent burning.
