Virgin coconut oil was used in this recipe, as refined coconut oil is less flavorful. Martha made this recipe in episode 506 of Martha Bakes.

Yield Makes one 10-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

Unsalted butter, room temperature, for pan
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons coconut milk, room temperature
1/4 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
1/4 cup yuzu juice (or fresh lemon juice)

Steps:

  • Butter a 10-inch springform pan and line bottom with parchment. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour and baking powder in a small bowl. Combine oils in a liquid measuring cup.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs on medium speed until combined. Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar, and continue whisking until tripled in volume and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low, and slowly add the oil mixture in four batches, alternating and ending with ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons coconut milk, until combined.
  • Sift flour mixture over egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in flour mixture until just combined. Gently fold in desiccated coconut.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until cake bounces back when lightly pressed in the center, 22 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water and remaining 1/4 cup sugar over medium heat and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Let stand until cool.
  • In a blender jar, combine the sugar-water, yuzu and remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk; blend to combine.
  • Remove sides from springform pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Using a pastry brush, brush cake generously with yuzu syrup, wrap well in plastic and freeze for at least 1 hour or overnight.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I might try adding some more milk or yogurt to the batter next time.

I found that this cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

The yuzu glaze is a bit tart, so if you don't like tart flavors, you might want to reduce the amount of yuzu juice in the recipe.
