- Beat unsalted butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Stir flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
- Whisk egg whites, milk, and coconut extract in a separate bowl.
- Thoroughly mix about 1/3 of the flour mixture into the creamed butter and sugar; stir in half the egg white-milk mixture. Repeat twice more, ending with final 1/3 of flour mixture; stir to make a smooth batter.
- Pour batter into prepared cake pans and smooth tops with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

THROWDOWN'S GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH COCONUT-PECAN-CAJETA FROSTING, CHOCOLATE GANACHE AND COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM
Steps:
- For the cajeta filling/frosting:
- Bring the milk, coconut milk and goat's milk to a simmer over low heat in a small saucepan. Keep warm while you prepare the caramel.
- Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan over high heat and cook (do not stir) until it becomes a deep amber brown color. Slowly whisk in the warm milk mixture and continue whisking until smooth; add the vanilla seeds and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the sauce is reduced by half and is the consistency of a caramel sauce, about 55 minutes.
- Once the sauce is reduced, remove from the heat and whisk in the cold butter, vanilla extract, salt and rum and whisk until combined. Transfer the sauce to a medium bowl and stir in the pecans and coconut. Let the frosting cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally before frosting the cake.
- For the ganache:
- Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over low heat. Put the chocolate into a medium bowl, add the hot cream and the corn syrup and let sit for 30 seconds. Gently whisk until smooth. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before pouring over the cake.
- For the chocolate cake:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter 2 (9-inch) cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Melt the 12 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the cocoa powder and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the sugars and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Add the coffee, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract and continue whisking until smooth and just combined. Slowly add the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 2 pans and bake on the middle rack until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 42 minutes. Let cool in the pans on a baking rack for 20 minutes. Then invert the cakes onto the baking rack and let cool for at least 1 hour before frosting. Slice each cake in half horizontally. Put 1 cake layer on a cake round or platter and spread 1/3 of the frosting evenly over the top, repeat to make 3 layers and top with the remaining cake layer, top side up. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- For the coconut whipped cream:
- Combine the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, rum and vanilla in a stand mixer and mix until soft peaks form. Slice the cake, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with some of the toasted coconut.

CREAM OF COCONUT CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE-COCONUT GLAZE
One 15-ounce can of cream of coconut is just enough to make this simple, rich cake and glaze. Use coconut extract in the cake if you like a strong coconut flavor, or leave it out if you want a more subtly perfumed coconut cake. From the cookbook Cake Keeper Cakes by Lauren Chattman; posted at iVillage.com.

- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and dust with flour.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Combine the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice as necessary.
- With the mixer on medium-low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and coconut extract (if you are adding it).
- Turn the mixer to low speed and add half of the flour mixture. Stir in 1/2 the cream of coconut. Stir in the remaining flour mixture until just combined.

COCONUT CREAM AND CHOCOLATE RICE CAKE PARFAIT
My wife Polly discovered this technique of chilling the can of coconut milk, taking the crema off the top and whipping it into whipped cream. I thought it was so cool, to get the whipped cream experience but dairy free. The last few years I've tried to reduce my gluten intake, i.e. I don't drink beer anymore (but I still eat scallion pancakes and dumplings for the record). Hence I developed this gluten-free rice cake that is still super chocolately and decadent. I have to say this, everyone loves parfait, said by the donkey on Shrek!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 1/3 hotel pan that is 2 1/2-inches deep, about 3 quarts in size, with the room temperature butter. Set aside.
- Add the rice flour to a medium bowl and whisk in the liquid egg substitute until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set aside. Place the oat milk in a saucepan with the cinnamon sticks and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, pour over the chocolate and cover with a plate, pot lid or whatever will cover the top of the bowl. After at least 5 minutes, remove the cinnamon sticks and whisk the chocolate until smooth. Add the chocolate ganache to the rice flour mixture and carefully stir to combine. Pour into the greased pan and put into the oven. Bake until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack lined sheet tray and let cool completely at room temperature.
- Remove the top cream from the coconut cans and discard or reserve for another use. Pour the rest of the coconut can contents into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk until thickened and holds stiff peaks. Set aside and save in the refrigerator until the cake is completely cooled.
- Make the parfaits in rocks glasses. Cut out small circles of the cake to fit them - 2 to 3 inches in size. Place a piece of cake on the bottom, top with the coconut whipped cream and repeat until you end with the dollop of cream on top. Dust cocoa powder on top for garnish and serve.
CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE WITH COCONUT ICE CREAM
It's hard to beat the combination of chocolate and coconut, as this irresistible dessert definitively proves. The intensely flavored pudding cake virtually disappears in your mouth, while the coconut ice cream provides a creamy and cool counterpoint. For good measure, an ethereal coconut emulsion is spooned about the plate. Finally, strips of crystallized ginger and slices of crispy toasted coquito nuts dropped on and around the cake offer whimsical textural notes. Decadent? Perhaps. Heavenly? By all means.

Steps:
- For the ice cream: Prepare an ice water bath. Bring the cream and coconut milk to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl; slowly pour in some of the hot cream to temper the yolks. Pour the eggs into the cream mixture and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the custard coats the back of a spoon and steam rises from the top. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl and cool over the ice water bath, stirring occasionally, until the custard is chilled. Process the custard in an ice cream machine. Fold in the toasted coconut and keep the ice cream frozen until ready to use.
- For the pudding cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square pan with plastic wrap. Whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup of the brown sugar, 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder, and the baking powder. Fold in the cream and pour the batter into the plastic-lined pan. Mix the remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder together and sprinkle over the top of the batter. Bring the coconut water to a boil and pour over the cake batter. Place the cake pan in a large roasting pan; pour enough water into the roasting pan to come 1-inch up the side of the cake pan. Bake the cake in the water bath for 50 minutes. Cool the cake to room temperature and invert it onto a sheet pan. Carefully pull away the plastic wrap. There should be a gooey pudding-like substance on the bottom of the cake. Using a 4-inch diameter ring cutter, cut 4 portions from the cake. Clean the ring cutter before each cut.
- For the emulsion: Warm the coconut milk and sugar in a small saucepan. Just prior to use, froth with a handheld blender.
- Assembly: Place a piece of the pudding cake in the center of each plate. Spoon the frothy portion of the emulsion around the pudding cakes. Place a quenelle-shaped scoop of the ice cream next to the cake and sprinkle the toasted coconut, coquito nuts, and crystallized ginger over the ice cream and around the cake.
COCONUT CREAM CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GANACHE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- Basic Chocolate Crust: 1) Place everything into a food processor and process until sticky, but not pastey. 2) Dump the contents into a springform pan and press down until flat and even. I used a 6" springform pan, you can adjust the ingredients according to the size of your pan. 3) Next, place your sliced strawberries standing along the edge of the crust to create a border (see picture above) 4) Use any remaining sliced strawberries to line the top of the crust, to be covered by the coconut cream. Coconut Cream Center: 1) Place all of the ingredients in a high speed blender. Use about a cup of the reserved coconut water and add to the blender. 2) Blend until completely incorporated, using the tamper to press down the ingredients toward the blade. (a Vitamix rocks in a recipe like this) 3) Add water only if needed. The thicker it is the easier it sets in the fridge, though liquid may be needed to facilitate blending. 4) Pour the contents into your springform pan lined with the crust and strawberries. Use a spatula to spread the cream until the sides are filled and the contents are even. 5) Place in the fridge to set while you work on the chocolate. Chocolate Ganache Frosting: 1) Place all of the ingredients, save the water, in a food processor and process until a sauce is formed. Scrape down the sides as needed. 2) Add the water a tablespoon at a time until a thick and spreadable consistency is achieved. 3) Pour over the top of the coconut cream layer. Refrigerate to set, overnight. Additional Tips I found that a full 24 hours in the refrigerator allowed the best set time. It was still soft but firm enough to display and cut easily. This is no joke and is a very rich dessert, you could easily share this with 12 people!
