Texas Coconut Pound Cake image

Big thanks to Mary Lou (and her Mother-in-Law) for sharing this delicious cake with us! The aroma of coconut permeated the entire Test Kitchen as it was baking. This recipe is everything you expect in a pound cake. It is a moist cake with a dense, yet tender, crumb with the perfect amount of coconut flavors running throughout....
