Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use low-fat cream cheese?

It is not recommended. Full-fat cream cheese is essential for the structure and moisture of this Moist Coconut Pound Cake.

2. Why do I need to pulse the coconut flakes?

Pulsing them 4-5 times breaks them down just enough so they distribute evenly without creating a stringy texture in the cake.

3. How do I prevent the cake from sticking?

Use solid vegetable shortening to grease every nook of your Bundt pan, then dust with sugar. Sugar provides a better "crunch" and release than flour for this specific recipe.
