- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Extracts: Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and coconut extracts.

- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and coconut milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes over the glaze for garnish.
Notes
- Coconut Milk: Shake the can of coconut milk well before measuring to ensure an even consistency.
- Toasting Coconut Flakes: Toast the coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown for extra flavor.
- Bundt Pan: Make sure to thoroughly grease and flour the Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
