Coconut-Macadamia Nut Pound Cake
- 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup gold rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 cup chopped roasted, salted macadamia nuts, lightly toasted
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- Shortening
- Garnishes: toasted coconut, chopped macadamia nuts
- Preheat oven to 325u0b0. Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer 2 to 3 minutes or until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed 5 to 7 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow disappears.
- Add flour to butter mixture alternately with rum, beginning and ending with flour. Beat batter at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla and next 3 ingredients. Pour batter into a well-greased (with shortening) and floured 15-cup Bundt pan.
- Bake at 325u0b0 for 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 2 hours). Spoon Snowy Rum Glaze over cooled cake.
