Make Ahead Coconut Flour Pound Cake
Pound cake is one of the most versatile baked goods in the kitchen. Alone, it’s the perfect accompaniment for an afternoon cup of tea, or top it with fruit and whipped cream for an upscale shortcake-style dessert everyone will love. Our coconut flour pound cake cuts and tastes best after resting for 24 hours, but don’t let its make-ahead requirement deter you from enjoying this moist and gluten-free cake. If you’re new to baking with coconut flour, the inclusion of 10 eggs in a cake recipe might seem like a mistake. We promise, it’s not! Coconut flour is highly absorbent and requires the addition of more liquids than other types of flours. Learn more about baking with coconut flour here.
