ingredients

instructions For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 10-15 cup fluted tube pan with butter and dust with flour. Tap out excess flour.
step 2

ingredients 3 cups Sugar
1 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter
6 Eggs

instructions In a large bowl, add sugar and butter and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes. Add one egg at a time, making sure to mix thoroughly between additions.
step 3

ingredients 4 1/2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cups Buttermilk
1 1/2 cups Flaked Coconut (unsweetened)
1 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans

instructions Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk in three parts to batter and mix gently until just moistened. Stir in coconut and pecans.
step 4

ingredients

instructions Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 90 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
step 5

ingredients 1/2 cup Water
2 tablespoons Salted Butter
1 cup Sugar
Powdered Sugar for dusting

instructions For the Glaze: Five minutes before cake is finished baking, make the glaze. Combine water, butter and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes. Slowly pour half the syrup over the cake, invert onto serving plate, and pour remaining syrup over top. Dust with powdered sugar, let sit for 10 minutes, and eat warm!
