📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the cake:
2
Preheat oven to 350. Butter or spray a standard sized loaf pan and set it aside.
butter (softened)10 tablespoonsbutter1 tablespoon
3
Mix wet ingredients
4
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, several minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, being sure that each egg is thoroughly mixed in before adding the next. Once the eggs are mixed in, beat in the vanilla and almond extracts.

Add wet and dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the coconut milk. You should begin and end with the dry ingredients. Once thoroughly incorporated, fold in the shredded coconut and pecans.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for ⏱️ 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You can cover the loaf with foil partway through cooking if the top is getting too brown. Be sure not to overcook this. I would suggest checking it with a toothpick every ⏱️ 5 minutes once it's been in for ⏱️ 45 minutes. Once the cake has been removed from the oven, immediately begin the glaze.

For the glaze:

Glaze
11
Combine coconut milk, butter, salt and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for ⏱️ 5 minutes, whisking often. The glaze will reduce and become thick and syrupy. Carefully remove the warm cake from the loaf pan and place it on a rack set over foil or parchment paper. Pour the glaze evenly over the pound cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the cake sit for ⏱️ 10 minutes and then serve.
