Khmer Krom Coconut Pound Cake

If you are a fan of coconut, I'm pretty sure you will like this lovely butter coconut pound cake! Unlike the usual butter cake I've attempted, this cake batter was very very runny and therefore it took longer time to bake through. Though the combination of butter and coconut milk sounds very rich, the taste of the cake actually turned out very light with soft and moist crumbs!
