  2. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add coconut and vanilla extracts.
  4. Alternately add flour mixture and 3/4 cup milk in three additions, beating until just combined. Pour into prepared pan.
  5. Bake 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in the pan and invert onto rack to cool completely.
  6. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with 3-4 tablespoons of milk.
  7. Drizzle half of the glaze over top of the cake, allowing glaze to drip down the sides. Sprinkle coconut and cashews over top and drizzle with remaining glaze.
