Number Of Ingredients 16

2 c sugar
1 c buttermilk
4 eggs
1 c oil
2 tsp coconut extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c coconut
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 c flour
1 c walnuts or macadamia, chopped
GLAZE
1 c sugar
1/2 c water
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp coconut extract

Steps:

1. Preheat oven 325
2. Combine sugar, buttermilk, eggs, oil, & extract. Mix well. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, & salt. Mix well. Stir in coconut & macadamia nuts. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Sprinkle extra macadamia nuts and coconut on top, if desired. Bake for an hour.
3. To make the glaze, heat ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Put loaves on a rack over wax paper to catch the extra glaze. Poke holes in cake and pour glaze over, letting it soak in. Pour more as it soaks in until it is all gone or glazed to your liking.
