Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.

In a large bowl, cream together 2 cups sugar and the butter.

Fold in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each one before adding another.

In separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, milk, flaked coconut, and 1 teaspoon coconut extract.

Beat into the creamed mixture.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

To make the glaze, mix together in a small saucepan 1 cup sugar, water, 1 teaspoon coconut extract, and walnuts.
