Categories     Cake     Coconut     Lime     Lime Juice     Easter     Dessert     Bake     Birthday     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 16

Number Of Ingredients 24

For the Coconut-Key Lime Cake:
1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 3/4 cups cake flour, plus more for pan
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk, divided
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon finely grated key lime zest
1/3 cup fresh key lime juice (from about 6 key limes)
For the Coconut-Key Lime Curd:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated key lime zest
1/4 cup fresh key lime juice (from about 4 key limes)
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
1 teaspoon finely grated key lime zest
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Make the Coconut-Key Lime Cake:
  • Position rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Spread coconut in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown and aromatic, 3-5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, coat a 13x9" pan with nonstick spray. Dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
  • Whisk toasted coconut, baking powder, salt, and 1 3/4 cups flour in a medium bowl. Mix coconut oil, vanilla, and 2/3 cup coconut milk in another medium bowl.
  • Cream sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium speed, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, until pale and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to blend after each addition. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with coconut milk mixture in 2 additions, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with a spatula.
  • Bake cake until top is set and golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes.
  • Mix key lime zest, juice, and remaining 2/3 cup coconut milk in a small bowl (it's okay if mixture separates slightly; it will be absorbed by cake). Using a skewer, poke holes every 2" into warm cake. Slowly pour key lime zest mixture over cake. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool completely.
  • Make the Coconut-Key Lime Curd:
  • Pour water into a medium pot to a depth of 2". Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place butter in a large bowl.
  • Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof medium bowl. Whisk in key lime zest and juice. Set bowl on saucepan, making sure bottom does not touch water. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and an instant-read thermometer registers 175°F, 3-4 minutes.
  • Strain egg yolk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve over butter, then stir with a rubber spatula until smooth. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on key lime curd and chill at least 30 minutes.
  • Make the Whipped Cream Topping:
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in chilled key lime curd and key lime zest. Spread cream on cooled cake with a spatula, then chill 30 minutes to set cream.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut flakes in a single layer on rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing halfway through, until crispy and golden, 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over cake.
  • Do Ahead
  • Lime curd can be made 1 week ahead. Store in an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 4 months.

COCONUT-LIME PUDDING CAKE



Coconut-Lime Pudding Cake image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus a bit for the pan
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs at room temperature, separated
1/2 cup limeade concentrate, thawed
3/4 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Toasted coconut, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Game Plan: Start boiling the water when you turn the oven on so it's ready when the cake goes into the oven. Separate eggs while the lime concentrate thaws in the microwave.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter a 1-quart gratin dish or 8-inch round cake pan and set it in a roasting pan.
  • Beat the 2 tablespoons butter with 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl until creamy, using a handheld electric mixer. Beat in the flour, then the egg yolks, limeade concentrate, coconut milk, and salt. (For the airiest egg whites, clean the beaters thoroughly so none of this mixture is left on them.) In another medium bowl whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks. While whipping, slowly pour in the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and continue beating until the whites hold stiff, glossy peaks. Fold a quarter of the whites into the coconut-lime mixture, then fold in the remaining whites.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and add enough boiling water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the side of the dish. Bake about 35 minutes or until the top of the pudding cake is slightly puffed and golden. Remove from the water bath and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes; serve warm. Garnish each serving with toasted coconut, if desired.

COCONUT-LIME TRES LECHES CAKE



Coconut-Lime Tres Leches Cake image

As someone whose greatest fear in life is dry cake, Tres Leches Cake holds a special place in my heart, as it is impossible not to be dry. While its exact origins are unknown, it is popular all over Latin America, especially in Mexico and Nicaragua, and I fell in love with it through my husband's love of Mexican food. This version has toasted coconut and lime, two flavors that go deliciously with the milky creamy flavors of Tres Leches cake.

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     dessert

Time 3h15m

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 large eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lime
1 cup toasted coconut
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup toasted coconut
Zest of 1 lime

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat the egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. With the mixer still on, slowly add 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Continue until shiny medium-stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Remove the egg whites to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the egg yolks and remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar to the same bowl of the stand mixer with the same whisk attachment (no need to wash). Beat on medium speed until pale yellow and doubled in volume, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the milk and vanilla, then the lime zest and coconut, beating constantly. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg white mixture into the batter in 3 additions until the egg whites are no longer visible.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let cool slightly.
  • For the tres leches: Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and whole milk in a large measuring cup with a spout. Using a round metal skewer or a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake, but don't go all the way down to the bottom (this will help the cake absorb the milk!). Pour the milk all over the cake very slowly and a little at a time (this will help distribute the milk throughout the cake). When all of the milk has been poured into the cake and absorbed, cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, preferably overnight.
  • For the topping: Combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Dollop, then spread over the top of the cake. Sprinkle with the coconut, then then the lime zest. Cut into 15 rectangles. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk adds a rich, creamy flavor to the cake. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but make sure to use full-fat coconut milk.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Be creative with the frosting: You can use any type of frosting you like on this cake. A simple buttercream frosting is a good option, but you could also try a cream cheese frosting or a whipped cream frosting.
