The Chew


List of Ingredients




FOR THE CAKE:
4 Eggs
2 cups Sugar
1 cup Unsalted Butter
3 cups Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Buttermilk
1 cup Flaked Coconut (unsweetened)
1 cup Chopped Pecans
.
FOR THE GLAZE:
1/2 cup Water
2 tablespoon Salted Butter
1 cup Sugar
powdered sugar for dusting


Recipe



FOR THE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar and butter and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.

Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk in three parts to batter and mix gently until just moistened. Stir in coconut and pecans. Pour batter into a greased bundt cake mold. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

FOR THE GLAZE: Five minutes before cake is finished baking, make the glaze. Combine water, butter and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes. Slowly pour half the syrup over the cake, invert onto serving plate, and pour remaining syrup over top. Dust with powdered sugar, let sit for 10 minutes, and eat warm!
