Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

1 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups white sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon coconut extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 cups flaked coconut

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Beat butter and cream cheese together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until blended; add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs one at a time, then stir in coconut extract. Mix in flour and baking powder until just moistened; stir in flaked coconut. Spoon batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes; run a table knife around the edges to loosen, then invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.

Recipe Tip

This cake recipe also does well baked in layers. It will make three 8-inch layers or one 10-inch layer and one 6-inch layer. Reduce the baking time if making it as a layer cake, but keep the temperature the same.

Made with ground pork sausage and beef, veggies and mushrooms. Not your old-fashioned meatloaf - meatloaf with a twist!

Dutch Apple Pie with Oatmeal Streusel

The crunchy streusel topping on this apple pie adds an extra flavor dimension to this delicious dessert. Try using Golden Delicious, Jonagold, or Granny Smith apples for this pie.

Roasted Lamb Breast

When lamb breast is cooked correctly, it's a delicious, richly flavored meat. You know I love lamb, as evidenced by the various chops, shanks, legs, and shoulders I've featured in the past. Here we have a brand new cut to celebrate: the lamb breast.

Pannekaken (Norwegian Pancakes)

My Norwegian grandmother made these pancakes for us as a treat, and they continue to be a favorite when my mother makes them for my kids. They're very easy and versatile — serve them rolled like crêpes with syrup or jam. Or serve them for dessert stuffed with sweetened cream cheese and lingonberry jam.

Pressure Cooker Beef Stew

This pressure cooker beef stew was made for us as infants; my mother used to put it in the blender for us as babies. To this day, it reminds me of home. The pressure cooker makes the meat fall apart tender and cooks up in 20 minutes.
