  • ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted or plain (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

  8. Allow cooling in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, canned coconut milk, and coconut extract until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more sugar or coconut milk if necessary.
