1 tsp. lemon extract
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Slowly add the flour a few spoonfulls at a time, alternating with the eggnog until well blended. Mix in the extracts, and spoon in the flaked coconut.
Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until set in the center.
Cool to room temp before trying to remove from pan.
