This Coconut Cream Cheese Pound Cake is super easy to make and one of our favorites! This pound cake is made in a loaf pan and its perfect for just a few people. It’s wonderful with coffee and would be great for a brunch gathering. Pound cakes are dense cakes and this cake is made with cream cheese and eggs so that is going to make it moist and dense. If you love coconut you should definitely give this cake a try!
Coconut cream cheese pound cake simple ingredients:
Butter
Cream cheese, softened
White granulated sugar
Eggs
Coconut extract
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Flaked or shredded sweetened coconut
Milk
I used parchment paper in the pan when I made this because I wanted to make sure it didn’t stick to the pan. I have found that pound cakes or any heavy cake has a tendency to stick and this helps that process. I also like to toast some coconut to sprinkle on the top of this cake too, but it is absolutely not necessary.
