INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter, with salt
1 8oz package Cheese, cream
3 cups Sugars, granulated
6 Egg, whole, raw, fresh

HOW TO MAKE COCONUT CREAM POUND CAKE
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 325 degrees F or 165 degrees C.
Step 2: Then, grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Step 3: Add the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl. Cream until incorporated. Beat in the sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating every after each addition. Stir in the coconut extract before adding in the flour and baking powder. Combine until just moist and stir in the coconut.
Step 4: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan.
Step 5: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about an hour and twenty minutes until a knife inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack.
NOTES:
If you intend to use a bundt pan in place of the tube pan, make sure that you use a taller bundt, around 5-inches tall.
I would suggest using a strong vegetable shortening and sugar instead of flour. For me, it is the best way to brush the pan to prevent sticking. By using sugar in place of flour, it is guaranteed you won’t get white spots on the cake, but you can still use flour if desired.
