Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 stick butter, room temperature
5 eggs
2/3 c crisco
3 c sugar
3 c plain flour
1 c milk
1 tsp coconut flavoring
2 c coconut, shredded
1 tsp baking powder

Steps:

  • 1. Cream butter and Crisco together. Add sugar gradually to Crisco mixture.

  • 3. Bake in a tube pan that has been sprayed with a flour and oil mixture (I prefer Bakers Joy). Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until done.
  • 4. The cake pictured here is the one I just made; I chose to put a coconut glaze on this which is easily made with 1 pound confectioners sugar, 1 t. coconut flavoring and a little milk to get it to the consistency you desire.
