COCONUT CREAM CAKE WITH COCONUT CREAM FROSTING



Coconut Cream Cake With Coconut Cream Frosting image

Found this on a site called "Mother Thyme" and as Coconut cake is my favorite decided to save. She states "The secret ingredient in the cake and the frosting is coconut cream instant pudding mix. I admit, I have an obsession with using pudding mix in many of my desserts. The coconut cream pudding mix gives both the cake and the frosting a great flavor with just the right amount of coconut in each tasty bite. If you want to get a little fancy and layer this cake, simply double the recipe. If you double the frosting, you will have extra leftover after you fill and frost the cake, but leftover frosting is never a bad thing.

Coconut Cake with 7-Minute Frosting image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 coconut (see Cook's Note)
Vegetable oil, for cake pan
14 1/4 ounces cake flour, plus extra for pans, approximately 3 cups
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup fresh coconut milk
1/2 cup fresh coconut cream
8 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
16 ounces sugar, approximately 2 1/4 cups
1 teaspoon coconut extract
4 egg whites
1/3 cup coconut water
3 large egg whites
12 ounces sugar, approximately 1 3/4 cups
1/3 cup coconut water
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Grated coconut from 1 coconut, approximately 8 to 10 ounces

Steps:

  • For the cake:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil 2 (9-inch) cake pans. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper. Oil the parchment paper and then flour the pan. Set aside.
  • Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Combine the coconut milk and coconut cream in small bowl and set aside.
  • Place the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer and using the paddle attachment, cream on medium speed until fluffy, approximately 1 minute. Decrease the speed to low and gradually add the sugar slowly over 1 to 2 minutes. Once all of the sugar has been added, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides. Turn the mixer back on to medium speed and continue creaming until the mixture noticeably lightens in texture and increases slightly in volume, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the coconut extract.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixture to the butter and sugar in 3 batches, ending with the milk mixture. Do not over mix.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the batter, just until combined. Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bang the pans on the counter top several times to remove any air and to distribute the batter evenly in the pan. Place in the oven on the middle rack. Bake for 40 minutes or until the cake is light golden in color and reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees F.
  • Cool the cake in the pans for 10 minutes then remove and transfer to a cooling rack. Once the cakes have cooled completely cut across the equator of each to form 4 layers. Place the 1/3 cup coconut water into a small spritz bottle and spray evenly onto the cut side of the 4 layers. If you do not have a spritz bottle you may brush the coconut water on with a silicone pastry brush. Allow to sit while preparing the frosting.
  • For the frosting:
  • Bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium to maintain a steady simmer. In the meantime, place the egg whites, sugar, coconut water, cream of tartar and salt into a medium size-mixing bowl. Place the bowl over the simmering water and immediately begin beating with an electric hand mixer set to low speed. Beat for 1 minute and then increase the speed to high and continue to beat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and beat in the coconut and vanilla extracts for 1 minute. Allow the frosting to sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Place approximately 3/4 cup of the frosting on the first layer of cake, sprinkle with 1/2 cup coconut and top with the next layer. Repeat until you reach the top layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake and sprinkle with the remaining coconut. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

COCONUT SHEET CAKE WITH MARSHMALLOW-CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Coconut Sheet Cake with Marshmallow-Cream Cheese Frosting image

When I'm looking for a cake with a casual and homey feel I always go for a sheet cake. I love this version because it's fluffy and sweet and full of natural coconut flavor. The coconut can be used raw or toasted, although I prefer the later because it contributes a deeper flavor to the finished cake.

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Baking spray with flour
1 cup unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, shaken
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted unrefined coconut oil
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups (335 grams) all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups (330 grams) granulated sugar
1 cup flaked coconut, sweetened or unsweetened, toasted if desired, chopped
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes and at room temperature
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
Pinch fine salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup marshmallow creme (1/2 a 7-ounce container)
1 1/4 cups flaked coconut, sweetened or unsweetened, toasted if desired

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-by-2-inch cake pan with baking spray with flour. Line the cake pan with parchment paper and coat the parchment with the baking spray.
  • Whisk the coconut milk, eggs, oil and vanilla together in a large measuring cup until smooth. In
  • the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, chopped coconut, baking powder and salt. Mix on low for 30 seconds to combine.
  • With the mixer still on low, begin adding the cubed butter and mix until no pieces of butter remain and the mixture looks like cornmeal, 2 to 3 minutes; it should hold together when squeezed.
  • With the mixer still on low, add half of the liquid ingredients and mix to combine. Scrape the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 20 seconds. Reduce the speed to low and add the remaining liquids. Mix just until combined. Scrape the bowl and give the batter a few folds with your spatula.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, 32 to 34 minutes. Cool the cake on a wire rack completely before frosting.
  • For the marshmallow frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and then add the cream cheese and beat on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl again and add the salt, vanilla and confectioners' sugar and mix on low until combined. Scrape the bowl and paddle. Mix on medium speed until completely smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the marshmallow creme and then mix on high speed for 1 minute.
  • Spoon the frosting over the cooled cake and spread it evenly. Sprinkle with the flaked coconut and serve. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 days, making sure to bring the cake back to room temperature before enjoying.
