Lemon-Coconut Bundt is a moist cake, dense yet tender crumb with the perfect blend of lemon and coconut running through it. While still warm doused with a lemon syrup. Finally, a tart lemon coconut glaze on top. Simply amazing flavors. Touch Down!

With the mixer on low speed, beat in one-quarter of the flour mixture, then one-third of the coconut milk.  Repeat  remaining flour and milk mixture making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Spoon thick batter into prepared bundt pan smooth out the top. Bake 55-60 minutes

Cool  cake for 30 minutes on a rack.

Making syrup, combine water, sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, add lemon juice.

Carefully invert warm cake. Gradually brush the hot cake with syrup, letting it soak in.

Allow cake to cool completely about one hour.

To make the glaze, combine the confectioners sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, coconut milk,melted butter and zest. Stir until well combined. Add more confectioners sugar or lemon juice if needed.

Once the cake is cooled, drizzle the syrup over the top, dripping down the sides. Sprinkle with the remaining 2oz of sweetened coconut.
