COCONUT CAKE RECIPE
Certainly! Here's a simple recipe for a delicious coconut cake:
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
For the frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded coconut for decorating
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the shredded coconut.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of the frosted cake for decoration.
Slice and enjoy your delicious homemade coconut cake!
Feel free to customize this recipe by adjusting the level of sweetness or adding other ingredients like chopped nuts or a layer of fruit preserves between the cake layers. Enjoy your coconut cake!
