Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅔ cup sweetened flaked coconut
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
4 eggs, separated
5 drops vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ cup apricot jam, or as desired
1 (16 ounce) can apricot halves, drained
2 cups heavy whipping cream, or more to taste
20 almond coconut candies (such as Raffaello)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Cook and stir flaked coconut in a skillet over medium-low heat until golden and toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Mix butter, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth; add flour, baking powder, and toasted coconut and mix well.
  • Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until foamy; continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Carefully mix egg whites into flour mixture; pour into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake is clean, about 30 minutes. Remove cake from pan and completely on a wire rack.
  • Place apricot jam in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat until easily spreadable, 15 to 20 seconds. Spread jam onto the cooled cake and top with apricot halves.
  • Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Crush 15 almond coconut candies in a bowl using a fork; fold into the whipped cream. Spread whipped cream mixture onto cake. Cut remaining 5 candies in half and arrange on the cake.

Overall, I thought this cake was pretty good. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I liked the coconut and almond flavors.

I had some trouble finding some of the ingredients for this recipe. I had to go to a specialty store to find the coconut flour.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a bit dry and the flavors didn't really come together.
