Preparation
Step 1
FOR THE CAKE:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar and butter and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk in three parts to batter and mix gently until just moistened. Stir in coconut and pecans. Pour batter into a pound cake mold. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean
FOR THE GLAZE:
Five minutes before cake is finished baking, make the glaze. Combine water, butter and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes. Slowly pour half the syrup over the cake, invert onto serving plate, and pour remaining syrup over top. Dust with powdered sugar, let sit for 10 minutes, and eat warm!
