Steps:
- Note: The filling has to thicken in the refrigerator overnight. To make the filling:.
- Poke holes in the top of the coconut and drain the milk - you should have approximately 1/3c. Split the coconut and shred the meat - the amount doesn't matter, just use what you get. Put into a ziplock bag or a bowl with a lid to stay fresh until the next day. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the marshmallows into the coconut milk, remove from heat and cool. Refrigerate overnight.
- The next day:.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line the bottoms of two 8" or 9" round cake pans with waxed paper.
- Beat the egg whites until foamy; gradually beat in 3/4c. sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the remaining 1/4c. sugar until thick and lemon-colored; mix in the orange juice and salt.
- Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, and then fold in the flour.
- Pour batter into waxed-paper lined pans and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. (The tops will spring back to the touch). Cool in pans for 10 minutes and then turn out.
- Filling:.
- Remove from the refrigerate and note that it has gelled and thickened.
- Whip marshmallow mixture until light and fluffy. Beat whipping cream until light and fluffy - don't add any sugar. Fold into marshmallow/coconut milk mixture.
- Split (torte) the 2 completely cooled cake layers so that you have 4 layers. Place first layer on cake plate and spread 1/4 marshmallow/cream mixture on top, sprinkle with shredded coconut. Alternate cake layers and marshmallow/cream mixture and coconut, ending with marshmallow/cream mixture & coconut on top. Store unused portion in refrigerator - it tastes better the 2nd day!

NO FUSS MANDARIN ORANGE CAKE W/ VANILLA COCONUT FROSTING
There are a number of recipes out there for this cake but, frankly, I don't care for the pineapple-vanilla pudding frosting. Coconut is much more my style! Plus, the cake is moist enough without the pudding on top.

GLUTEN FREE COCONUT FLOUR ORANGE CAKE WITH COCONUT OIL FROSTING RECIPE - (4.2/5)
Provided by Jackie618

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Measure out coconut oil and place in an 8"x8" pan. Place the pan in the oven to melt the coconut oil. While the coconut oil is melting, whisk the eggs, coconut milk, honey, vanilla and orange zest together. Once the coconut oil is melted (probably around five minutes or less), remove the pan from the oven and let it cool while you mix in the rest of your ingredients. Combine coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet. Once your pan is cooled enough to handle, carefully swirl your coconut oil around your pan in order to grease all sides. Then pour the coconut oil into the batter and mix until all lumps are gone. Pour the batter into your greased pan and place on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until browned on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Place the cake on a cooling rack. After the cake has cooled a bit, but is still warm, poke holes all over the top with a fork. Juice the orange half right over the whole cake, making sure to evenly distribute the juice. FROSTING: Mix all ingredients into warm coconut oil. You are now going to place the bowl into the freezer in order to cool it down. It is very important to check on it every couple of minutes to catch it before it gets too cold. You want to take it out of the freezer right when it starts to get cloudy. At this point the cold bowl (and your cool kitchen) will continue to turn the liquid oil into a solid. Continue to whisk the frosting as it gets cloudier and cloudier and eventually turns into a whipped butter consistency. The idea is to get a bit of air into it. Once it is to a whipped (very soft) butter consistency plop it onto your cooled cake. Frost it very quickly before the coconut oil hardens. It will seem like a pretty thin frosting, but it is just enough.

Tips:
- Utilize Fresh Ingredients: Prioritize fresh coconut and oranges to maximize the natural flavors in your cake. Savor the vibrant taste of real ingredients.
- Creaming Method: Achieve a light and fluffy texture by creaming together butter and sugar until well combined. Incorporate eggs one at a time to ensure proper emulsification.
- Zest and Juice Harmony: Enhance the citrusy flavor by incorporating both orange zest and orange juice into the batter. This combination elevates the overall taste profile.
- Coconut Milk Hydration: Swap out some of the regular milk with creamy coconut milk to add a luscious texture and distinct coconut flavor to the cake batter.
- Balanced Sweetness: Adjust the sugar quantity based on your desired sweetness level. A moderate amount of sugar complements the natural flavors without overpowering them.
- Baking Temperature: Bake the cake at a moderate temperature (around 350°F) to prevent over-browning and ensure even cooking throughout.
- Layered Delight: Create a stunning layered cake by dividing the batter into two or three portions and adding different flavorings or colors to each layer. This adds visual appeal and enhances the taste experience.
- Citrus Glaze Perfection: For a glossy and flavorful glaze, whisk together orange juice, confectioners' sugar, and a touch of cornstarch. Drizzle it over the cooled cake for an elegant finishing touch.
