Instructions for cake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream the butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition.  Add the extract, zest, juice and milks.

Slowly add the flour, salt, and baking powder.  Mix until just combined.  Spray a loaf pan with your favorite non-stick spray and add the mix. 

Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Instructions for glaze:

The the cake is cooled, mix all ingredients except for the coconut until smooth.  Glaze should be rather thick.  Spread all over top of the cake and while the glaze is wet, sprinkle the coconut on top and enjoy!
