COCONUT POUND CAKE

-

About 2 teaspoons butter or coconut oil for greasing pan 1 cup all-purpose flour ⅔ cup coconut flour ⅓ cup almond flour 2 teaspoons baking

powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsweetene­d coconut milk (whisk before measuring) 1 teaspoon vanilla

extract

1 cup sugar 6 tablespoon­s solid

coconut oil

3 large eggs

Grease a 9-by-5-by-3inch loaf pan with butter or coconut oil. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt. In a measuring cup with a spout, whisk together coconut milk and vanilla.

Using an electric mixer (a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment is handy) set on mediumhigh speed, beat sugar and coconut oil fluffy, about 1 minute. Crack in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Stop and scrape down sides and bottom of bowl as needed. Switch to low speed. Mix in some of the flour mixture, then some of the milk mixture, alternatin­g until the ingredient­s are just incorporat­ed.

Scrape batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth top. Slide into oven and bake until top turns golden and firm and a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean, 45-48 minutes. Let pound cake cool in its pan, 10 minutes. Tip loaf out of its pan, and cool on a rack. The cake is good warm or at room temp. Makes 1 loaf.
