Good Morning everyone today is Potluck Sunday, I hope you prepared a wonderful dish to bring. I am really hungry and cant wait to see what everyone has contributed.I'm a girl with a weakness for sweets, so today I am bringing a Homemade Coconut Pound Cake to the potluck.
I adapted this recipe from the Homemade Vanilla Pound Cake that I made a couple months back. While I was preparing the original pound cake recipe all sorts of different versions were popping into my head Lemon, Chocolate and Coconut.
I thought maybe if i played around a bit with the ingredients I could come up with a few different pound cake recipes. Coconut was the first one I wanted to try.
I was a little nervous messing with the original recipe because it was so good just as it was.
Well, I am happy to say the Coconut Pound Cake turned out fabulous. I am so glad I gave it a try now I have another great pound cake recipe.
In my opinion pound cakes are so much better the second day. I guess it is because the flavors have time to sit and marry.
Personally I can never wait till then to whack off a slice. That's because I have absolutely no will power LOL. I hope you enjoy the recipe.

Oh, coconut is my favorite anything! What a great dessert for spring with some fresh berries...yum!
Wow! This cake looks amazing. It reminds me of the pound cakes my mom used to make.
This looks so good! Do you usually put Potluck Sunday up on Sat. night or Sunday. I am usually gone most of the day on Sunday so I have not been linking up.
Lynn I had to make a early start this morning. I knew I would not have time to get the post up so I just launched it late Saturday Night. I might do that from now one just not sure. I know i can schedule the posts but blogger acts up sometimes and i dont want the post looking strange before i see it.
Oh yum! It is actually making my mouth water! Great for spring berries or drizzled with chocolate.
MMM... I love reading your blog.
All the Best, Lori (the BlogFrog)
