Glazed Coconut Bundt Cake

A simple coconut cake with a sweet glaze and wonderful flavor. It's straightforward to make, keeps well for a few days and can be frozen. We especially love it for Easter, Mother's Day and Spring brunches.
Sometimes, you only need a good slice of coconut cake with a cup of tea or coffee. Classic comfort in every bite.
This is a simple recipe, both the batter and the glaze. There are no bells and whistles, except a beautiful crumb and coconut flavor.
It can be made in a bundt pan (my favorite), loaf pans or round cake pan.
