Aunt Kim's Coconut Cake

This recipe appeared originally in Just a Pinch Recipes as "Coconut Brunch Bread." With the glazed icing, it is delicious but very sweet... every bit a cake!

6 eggs
3 C. sugar
1 1/2 C. oil
3 tsp. coconut extract
4 1/2 C. flour
3/4 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C. buttermilk
1 1/2 C. flaked coconut
1 1/2 C. chopped walnuts

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Beat first four ingredients together and blend well.
3) Mix dry ingredients.
4) Add dry ingredients to egg mixture, alternating with buttermilk, coconut, and nuts.
45 Spoon into 3 large loaf pans or 1 10" bundt pan.
6) Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes if using loaf pans, or 1 1/2 hours if using bundt pan.

ICING:
1 C. sugar
1/2 C. water
2 Tbsp. margarine (I always use butter)
1 tsp. coconut extract

1) While bread is baking, combine sugar, water, and butter in small saucepan.
2) Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add coconut extract.
3) Remove warm breads from pan(s).
4) Place back in pans and pour hot syrup over top of the warm cake.
5) Let stand 4 hours or more before slicing and serving.
