Coconut Pound Cake

Although this cake, used in the grilled coconut pound-cake sundaes with tropical fruit, calls for flaked coconut, don't be tempted to omit the coconut extract — it really adds depth to the coconut flavor.

Cooks' note:

Cake can be made 3 days ahead and kept, wrapped well in plastic wrap, at room temperature.
