I was in the process of making this, and didn’t want to ruin it by making it in the bundt pan, so didn’t do it this time! I could only find 1 loaf pan, but I needed to use up 2 cream cheese blocks. . Borrowed a loaf pan from my daughter. It smells amazing and I can’t wait to try it. Just waiting for them to cool.
Wonderful! I hope you love this recipe, it’s one of our favorites.
Can this be doubled and baked in a bundt pan?
I have never tried doubling this recipe, so I really can’t advise you except to say I would think you could do that.
This was absolutely out of sight delicious! I love the heavy texture! ❤️
Thank you so much Linda! So happy you enjoyed this recipe and thank you for letting us know. Have a great weekend.
is this really 8 oz cream cheese, or should it be 3 oz? Most cake recipes with 8 oz cream cheese call for 3 sticks butter and 3 cups flour
The recipe is correct as written, Joyce.
I love pound cake, by itself or in desserts such as shortcakes and trifles. If I add toasted coconut on top of the Coconut Cream Cheese Pound Cake is it better to sprinkle on top before baking or add it after it has cooked? I will make this cake either way as it sounds delicious.
You add it after it is cooked, Shirley.
I wonder if this can be made using a Duncan Hines white or yellow cake mix. I never make cakes from scratch, but I love the Sour Cream Pound Cakes sold at the grocery deli and think it may work.
I have not tried it using a mix, Evelyn.
Thanks for the recipe! Just made it this afternoon and loved it. I see muffin potential…
I am anxious to try this cake. I tried the cheese Danish and my family loves them
This sounds so good.Will try it.
I use Organic Coconut Oil when I make coconut “anything”. It adds just a wonderful coconut-rich base to everything, and lightens up the texture as well. I know! I Know! How can a girl raised in South Alabama by a good old farm cook possibly think of using anything other than butter in her pound cake? And Organic at that!! Trust me! It is THAT good!
How much Coconut oil do you use?
This was delicious!!!! I did added some chopped pecans, but otherwise made it exactly as the recipe stated. WONDERFUL!!!
I love coconut
thank you…
There may be a few but I don’t know which ones they are, Debora.
Thank you…!!!!
