Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Corn syrup
- 0.25 cup Toasted shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vegetable oil and mix until incorporated. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the shredded sweetened coconut.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and corn syrup in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Adjust milk quantity if needed for desired consistency.
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Optional: Sprinkle the top with toasted shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
Slice and serve! Enjoy the crunchy and moist goodness of your Louisiana Crunch Cake.
