Coconut Pound Cake

I visited my friend over the weekend and she served this cake with a side of fresh fruit. It was so delicious I just had to have the recipe.

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups white sugar
2 cups flaked coconut
8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter, softened
6 eggs
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan or a bundt pan.
2) Cream together the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until well blended. Add sugar and beat the mixture until it is fluffy.
3) Blend in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the coconut extract. Mix in flour and baking powder until just moistened, then stir in the flaked coconut.
4) Pour the batter into the pan. Bake the cake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake and enjoy!
