POUND CAKE WITH COCONUT OIL



Pound Cake with Coconut Oil image

Extra-virgin coconut oil is the key to the velvety, smooth texture of this cake. It's moist but with a fine crumb, and every bit as rich as a pound cake should be. Don't expect a coconut taste, it gently disappears into the background.

COCONUT POUND CAKE



Coconut Pound Cake image

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.

COCONUT OIL POUND CAKE WITH ALMONDS AND LIME ZEST



Coconut Oil Pound Cake With Almonds and Lime Zest image

Virgin coconut oil can be found in most health food stores. It is less refined than ordinary coconut oil and has a lower smoke point. It does, however, have more of a coconut flavor. It also lends a gentle fragrance, which is enhanced here by the lime zest.
