Coconut Cake with Berries and Cream image

A riff on tres leches, this coconut-spiked spongecake is soaked in condensed milk, heavy cream, and -- in place of the usual evaporated milk -- coconut milk. Serve it with mixed berries and whipped cream.

Time 11h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for pans
6 large eggs, separated
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup flaked unsweetened coconut, toasted and finely ground
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
2 cups heavy cream, divided
1 can (13.75 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3 cups mixed fresh berries (about 12 ounces), for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan. Whisk together egg whites, baking soda, and salt in a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment on medium speed, until soft peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add egg yolks to egg-white mixture, and whisk until completely combined. Gradually add sugar, and whisk until combined. Fold in butter and coconut with a rubber spatula.
  • Sift 1/4 cup flour onto mixture; fold to combine. Repeat with remaining flour, folding in 1/4 cup at a time. Pour batter into pan; bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, the coconut milk, and condensed milk. As soon as cake is removed from oven, pour cream mixture over cake. Let cake cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cover cake with plastic wrap, and refrigerator at least 5 hours and up to 8 hours.
  • Just before serving, whisk remaining cup heavy cream until soft peaks form, and spread over cake. Serve with mixed berries.

This cake was a disappointment. The coconut flavor was artificial and overpowering, and the cake was dry and crumbly. The frosting was too sweet and didn't complement the cake well. I would not recommend this recipe.
