COCONUT POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
• In a large bowl, cream together 2 cups sugar and the butter. Fold in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each one before adding another.

• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for just a few minutes, then place on cake platter.
• To make the glaze, mix together in a small saucepan 1 cup sugar, water, 1 teaspoon coconut extract, and walnuts. Boil for 1 minute, and pour over still warm cake.

Stir in the candied fruit, coconut, raisins and nuts., Press into a greased and waxed paper-lined 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 300° for 80-90 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

COCONUT AND PASSION FRUIT POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
• Spread the coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the toasted coconut to a plate to cool. Keep the oven on for baking the cake.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk and the passion fruit pulp and seeds.
• With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar, and coconut oil in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
• Alternate adding the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture to the egg mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in 1 cup of the toasted coconut.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup of toasted coconut. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 1 hour, then remove the cake from the pan and let cool completely.

PASSION FRUIT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a standard loaf pan (8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2) with non-stick spray (I use Avocado Oil spray) and set aside.
• Sift dry ingredients together into a medium bowl. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and sour cream together until well combined. Slowly add avocado oil while whisking to ensure it is fully incorporated.
• Add lime zest and passion fruit and whisk lightly to combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients, 1/3 at a time, and stir gently to combine. Do not over mix. There will be some lumps in the batter.
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, scraping the sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Bake cake on center rack for 55 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean (or with only a few moist crumbs).
• Allow cake to cool in pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. Then turn cake out onto wire rack to finish cooling completely.
• Optional glaze: while cake cools, make glaze. Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons passion fruit juice, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Adjust quantities to achieve desired consistency and sweetness. Pour glaze over cooled cake, or use as topping for individual servings.
