Yield Makes a 9 in/24cm diameter ring cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup/100g sugar, plus 1 1/2 tbsp/20g for the topping
1/3 cup/90g light brown sugar
1 1/4 cup/180g ground almonds
1/4 cup/30g ground pistachios
1/2 cup/45g desiccated coconut
1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp/50g self-rising flour (preferably Gold Medal brand)
A pinch of salt
1 1/4 tsp ground mahleb
10 tbsp/150g butter, melted
3 large eggs
2 cups/300g cherries
Scant 1/2 cup/50g roughly chopped pistachios, for the topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9 in/24cm diameter ring cake tin with butter.
  • Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour over the melted butter and mix in the eggs. Spoon the batter into the pre-greased tin and smooth down.
  • Remove the pits from the cherries-you can do this with a cherry pitter or by just pulling them apart and popping the pits out with your fingers. I like to do this over the cake tin, so that any juice drips onto the cake and adds color. Drop the pitted cherries onto the batter and sprinkle the top of the cake with the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp/20g of sugar and the roughly chopped pistachios. Bake in the center of the oven for 25-30 minutes, then turn the cake around and bake for a further 8-10 minutes, until the cake between the cherries goes all golden.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the tin, as it needs time to settle, then gently remove by running a knife around the edges. Covered well, it will keep in the fridge for up to a week (not much chance of that happening), but for the best flavor, allow it to return to room temperature before eating.

Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 ¼ cups sifted cake flour
1 tablespoon sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
3 egg whites
⅔ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon white sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
⅓ cup sweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons sweetened coconut milk
⅓ cup almond milk
3 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
2 ounces sliced almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups unsalted butter
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
¼ teaspoon coconut extract
1 ½ (16 ounce) packages powdered sugar
½ cup coconut milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 15x10x1-inch pan with parchment paper.
  • Sift cake flour, baking powder, and salt together 3 times in a bowl.
  • Beat egg whites using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until foamy. Add 1/2 of the total amount of sugar gradually; continue to beat until soft peaks form.
  • Beat butter using an electric mixer in a separate bowl until creamy. Gradually add remaining sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture alternately with coconut milk and almond milk in small amounts at a time, beating after each addition until smooth. Mix in flaked coconut, almonds, almond extract, coconut extract, and vanilla extract. Add egg white-sugar mixture and beat thoroughly into batter. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes; remove cake and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While cake continues to cool, beat butter, salt, vanilla extract, almond extract, and coconut extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add powdered sugar to butter mixture alternately with coconut milk, beating until smooth. Frost cooled cake.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Fold in the cherries and coconut last. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This almond coconut cake with cherries is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a sweet, coconutty frosting. The cherries add a pop of color and tartness that perfectly complements the sweetness of the cake.
