COCONUT SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE

Coconut Sour Cream Pound Cake image

My mother-in-law always makes this pound cake for holidays. That makes this cake very special, but it really could be made any time of the year! Even people who don't like the texture of coconut love this cake because the only coconut in it is the flavoring.
