Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9"x 5" loaf pan.*
- Line a small baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Spread the coconut in an even layer on the lining. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes to prevent burning. Remove from the oven when the coconut is lightly toasted.
- Set aside 1/4 cup of the coconut to use for the topping.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour in three portions, alternating with two portions of buttermilk. Mix just until combined.
- Stir in the toasted coconut not reserved for the topping.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 1 hour, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 1 hour. Then, remove the cake from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Whisk together the confectioners' sugar and buttermilk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
- Sprinkle the cake with the reserved toasted coconut.

COCONUT POUND CAKE
Coconut oil and coconut milk add a tasty tropical essence to this moist pound cake. Be sure to buy unrefined virgin coconut oil, as it has the best coconut flavor and aroma. Coconut oil is much easier to measure and incorporate when it has been softened than at room temperature, when it is firmer. Try popping it into the microwave for very short bursts, about 5 seconds each, until it is roughly the same consistency as softened butter.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan, making sure to shake out any excess flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the 2 cups flour with the baking powder and salt.
- In a large bowl and using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. With the machine running, beat in the coconut oil, scraping down the bowl often, until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating to blend between additions.
- Add half the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the coconut milk and beat to combine. Add the remaining dry ingredients and 1 cup of the toasted shredded coconut, and beat just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons shredded coconut evenly over the top.
- Bake until puffed and golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 to 70 minutes.
- Transfer to rack to cool for 20 minutes, then tip the loaf out onto the rack to cool completely. Store leftovers well wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to a month.

COCONUT POUND CAKE (USING COCONUT MILK)
I was looking online for a coconut pound cake that used coconut milk and came across one that was similar to the one that I wanted. However, I made quite a few changes and I believe that it has been perfected :-) This pound cake has a wonderfully rich coconut flavor b/c it uses coconut milk. The coconut milk and coconut are both un-sweetened, so you may add a little more sugar if you'd like, but this recipe is great even if you don't have a "sweet tooth". ADDITIONAL NOTES: After readin some of the reviews, I tried this same recipe and added a "Brown suger Toasted Coconut Glaze". It makes it even better. See below
