Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick spray
One 14-ounce bag sweetened shredded coconut (about 4 cups)
2 teaspoons instant espresso
1 1/4 cups water
One 15.25-ounce box chocolate fudge cake mix, such as Betty Crocker
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
Two 8-ounce blocks Neufchatel cream cheese, at room temperature
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle half of the shredded coconut on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
  • Combine the instant espresso and water in a measuring cup; stir until dissolved. Add to a medium bowl, along with the cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat for 2 minutes with a handheld mixer on medium speed. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a baking rack and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, butter, coconut milk, salt and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer on medium speed until light, fluffy and smooth, about 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining (untoasted) coconut with a rubber spatula.
  • If the cakes have domed in the center, trim to level the tops. Place one cake layer, up-side down, on a platter or plate. Spoon one-third of the frosting on top and spread evenly, almost completely to the edge. Place the other layer, up-side down, on top, pressing gently to anchor. Using an offset spatula, evenly frost the entire cake; if the frosting gets too soft, place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Gently press the toasted coconut around the outside of the cake and sprinkle it over the top.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Sift 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, and sea salt into medium bowl. Stir in unsweetened shredded coconut and set aside. Using electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, and orange peel in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with coconut milk in 2 additions, beating just until blended after each addition. Fold in half of bittersweet chocolate pieces. Spread batter evenly in prepared cake pan. Sprinkle remaining chocolate pieces over batter, then sprinkle with sweetened flaked coconut.
  • Bake cake until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, tenting with sheet of foil if coconut atop cake is browning too quickly, 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer cake to rack and cool in pan 45 minutes.
  • Coconut Drizzle
  • Whisk powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk, and vanilla in small bowl to blend well, adding more coconut milk by 1/2 teaspoonfuls until mixture is thin enough to drizzle over cake.
  • Carefully run small knife around sides of cake to loosen. Invert cake onto platter, then carefully invert again onto another platter, coconut side up. Using small spoon, drizzle powdered sugar mixture decoratively over cake. Cool cake completely on platter. DO AHEAD Cake can be made up to 1 day ahead. Cover cake and let stand at room temperature.
  • Cut cake into wedges and serve with vanilla ice cream.
  • Available at specialty foods stores and natural foods stores.
  • ** Sold at many supermarkets and at Indian, Southeast Asian, and Latin markets. If unavailable, use 1 cup half and half mixed with 1/2 teaspoon imitation coconut extract.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate for the chocolate sauce.
  • If you don't have sweetened coconut flakes, you can make your own by toasting unsweetened coconut flakes in a pan with a little bit of sugar.
  • To make the cake ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours.
  • You can also make the chocolate sauce ahead of time. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • When you're ready to serve the cake, reheat the chocolate sauce in a microwave or on the stovetop until it's warm and melted.
