HAUPIA CAKE



Haupia Cake image

I made this cake for our Hawaiian Luau, and several times since then! It's a pretty white cake layered with haupia filling, a Hawaiian coconut pudding. If you like coconut, this cake is really nice. Not too sweet. It's a little work, but well worth it in the end. If you don't want to do the layering, just make it in a 9x13 pan and only make a half batch of the haupia filling. Please note that preparation/cooking times are approximate and don't include chilling times.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (18 ounce) box white cake mix
1 cup coconut milk, divided
2/3 cup water
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
2 cups heavy cream
6 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract
shredded coconut (amount needed to sprinkle over entire cake)
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
4 cups coconut milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • MAKE CAKE & WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING: Preheat oven according to directions on cake mix. Grease and flour two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Prepare the cake according to the package directions, using 2/3 cup of the coconut milk, water, and egg whites.
  • When cakes are finished baking, cool and cut each cake horizontally into 2 layers. If your top layers are mound-shaped, cut them so they are flat. (If your layers aren't flat, your filling/frosting will seep off the cake and you'll have a mess.)
  • Soften gelatin in remaining 1/3 cup of coconut milk. Dissolve over hot water. Cool completely.
  • In a bowl, whip the heavy cream. Fold the gelatin mixture, sugar, and extract into the whipped cream. Chill frosting until it is of spreading consistency.
  • MAKE HAUPIA FILLING: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, salt, cornstarch and water. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk. When hot, add the sugar mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and cool.
  • Chill the filling until it is of spreading consistency.
  • ASSEMBLE THE CAKE: Spread the Haupia Filling between each cake layer (spread it on pretty thickly, about 1/2" thick or so). You'll have the following layers: cake, filling, cake, filling, cake, filling, cake.
  • Refrigerate assembled cake until set.
  • Frost entire cake with whipped cream mixture. Sprinkle coconut all over the cake sides and top.
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • NOTE: Cooking times are approximate and do not include chilling times.

Time 1h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 ⅓ cups water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 egg whites
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups milk
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup butter, softened
1 (16 ounce) box confectioners' sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 5 8-inch cake pans, and line them with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the cake mix, baking powder, flour, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. With an electric mixer, beat the mixture with water, vegetable oil, and egg whites at low speed until thoroughly mixed; increase speed to medium, and beat 2 minutes. Scoop 1 cup of batter into each of the 5 prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cakes are set in the middle, about 8 minutes; watch carefully so the thin cakes don't burn. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.
  • Whisk the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of milk in a bowl until thoroughly blended; let stand 2 minutes to thicken. Place a cake layer on a serving dish, and spread with about 1/2 cup of pudding; repeat with remaining layers and pudding, ending with a cake layer.
  • In a bowl, mash the cream cheese and butter together until thoroughly combined; mix in confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and milk, slowly adding and mixing in milk as needed to make a spreadable frosting. Ice the top and sides of the cake with the frosting. Refrigerate leftovers.

Categories     Chocolate

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 eggs, seperated
1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c cake flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1/3 c cocoa powder
1/3 c vegetable oil
1 c milk
FROSTINGS
11/2 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c butter
1/2 c cocoa powder
1/3 c cornstarch
1/2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 8-inch pans. Beat egg whites until frothy; gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar until stiff. Sift together remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa. Make a well in center; add oil and half of milk. Beat until well-blended at medium speed. Add remaining milk and egg yolks; beat until smooth. Fold mixture into egg whites. Pour batter into pans and bake 30 to 35 minutes. Cool, then slice each layer in half to make 4 layers.
  • 2. To prepare frosting: Combine water, sugar, salt and butter in saucepan and bring to boil. Combine cocoa, cornstarch and water; add to boiling mixture and return to boil. Cool completely. Frost between cooled layers, sides and top.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: Using high-quality, fresh ingredients will result in a more flavorful cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and fluffy cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Adding the eggs one at a time will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Alternately add the dry and wet ingredients: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too dry or too wet.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature: The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature of 350°F (175°C) for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings. Some popular choices include chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Zippy's Dobash Cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
