Traditionally, it was made with a pound each of butter, sugar, flour and eggs\u2014hence the name &#8220;pound cake&#8221;!<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best way to grease a fluted tube pan?<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to ensure that your coconut pound cake comes out of the pan cleanly is to grease it well from the start. We recommend using shortening to grease Bundt pans, even those with nonstick coating. To grease a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-grease-a-bundt-pan\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-grease-a-bundt-pan\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Bundt pan<\/a>, take a dollop of shortening on a paper towel and wipe the interior of the pan. You want to get into every nook and cranny. Then dust with flour and tap away the excess.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I bake this cake in a larger pan?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can bake this amount of batter in a 10- to 12-cup fluted tube pan, though the resulting cake will be shorter. You can also double the proportions of ingredients and bake it in a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan. Follow the same doneness cues; the bake time will be closer to an hour and a half.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make this coconut pound cake cake gluten-free?<\/h3>\n<p>Substitute your favorite gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the wheat flour. The flour is the only ingredient in this recipe in which gluten would be an issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tropical flavor shines in this sweet and simple coconut pound cake recipe.
