Coconut Cake Iv

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
2. 2
   Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside.
3. 3
   Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Mix in coconut extract.
4. 4
   Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in coconut, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour batter into prepared pan.
5. 5
   Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
