THE CAKE MIX DOCTOR'S EASY REFRIGERATOR COCONUT CAKE



The Cake Mix Doctor's Easy Refrigerator Coconut Cake image

I pulled this recipe off of www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.com. She credits the recipe to The Cake Mix Doctor Returns cookbook. I like the very detailed instructions. One instruction I wish she had included was to open the can of cream of coconut and stir it vigorously to mix the syrup from the cream. I just shook the can and then poured out the cream of coconut from a small opening. I didn't realize until it was too late that the only thing I got out of the can was the sugar syrup. Not only can and should this cake be prepared days ahead of when you plan to serve it but the frosting and the cake can be made on a separate days, also.

Time 48m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

18 1/4 ounces white cake mix, Duncan Hines is preferred
1 cup milk
1/2 cup cream of coconut, plus more cream of coconut for brushing on the baked layers
3 large eggs
2 cups sour cream
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping
3 1/2-4 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • .Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350. Lightly mist three 9 inch round cake pans with vegetable oil spray, then dust them with flour. Shake out the excess flour and set the pans aside.
  • Stir the cream of coconut to make sure that is mixed together.
  • Place the cake mix, milk, 1/2 cup cream of coconut, and eggs in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are incorporated, 30 seconds. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 1 1/2 minutes longer, scraping down the sides of the bowl again if needed. The batter should look well blended.
  • Divide the cake batter evenly among the 3 prepared pans, about 1 1/2 cups batter per pan, smoothing the tops with a rubber spatula. Place the pans in the oven. If your oven is not large enough to hold 3 pans on the center rack, place two pans on that rack and one in the center of the rack above.
  • Bake the cake until layers are light brown and the tops spring back with lightly pressed with a finger, 18 to 23 minutes. The cake layer on the higher rack may bake faster, so test it for doneness first.
  • While the cakes bake, make the frosting. Place the sour cream and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 1/2 minutes. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the sugar has dissolved, 2 minutes longer.
  • Add the whipped topping and beat on low speed until well blended. Stir in 3 cups of coconut and beat on low speed until mixed. Place the frosting in the refrigerator to chill for at least 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the cake pans to wire racks and let the cake layers cool for 5 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of each cake layer and give the pans a good shake to loosen the cakes. Invert each layer onto a wire rack, and then invert again so they are right side up.
  • While the cakes cool, use a small brush to gently brush the tops of the cake with the remaining cream of coconut. Let the cakes cool completely, 15 minutes longer. When the cakes are cool, use a large serrated knife to cut each cake in half horizontally to make 6 layers.
  • To assemble the cake, transfer one layer, cut side up, to a serving platter. Spread the top with a heaping 2/3 cup frosting. Place another layer, cut side up, on top of the first layer and frost with 2/3 cup frosting. Repeat this process with the remaining layers and frost the top and sides of cake. Sprinkle 1/2 to 1 cup coconut on top of the cake for garnish.
  • This cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Simply the Best Coconut Cake image

Incredibly moist and sweet with a delightful coconut taste that's not overwhelming, this is the best coconut cake ever. Each bite combines a cold and creamy filling, a soft cake, and a thick, sweet frosting--it melts in your mouth! And it looks fancy, like you spent all day making it, but it's actually super easy and approachable.

Time 1h40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

cooking spray
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 (6-ounce) packages frozen coconut
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (15.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup white sugar
⅓ cup light corn syrup
2 large egg whites
1 tablespoon water
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ cup flaked sweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for coated pans. Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
  • Stir sugar, frozen coconut, and sour cream for filling together in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, eggs, egg whites, and vanilla for cake in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Blend on medium speed for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then invert onto a parchment-lined cooling rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Use a large, serrated knife to cut each cake layer in half lengthwise; you will have 4 pieces. Flip top pieces so all cut sides are facing up. Stack layers and filling on a serving platter as follows: 1 bottom layer, 1/3 of the filling, 1 top layer, 1/3 of the filling, remaining bottom layer, remaining filling, remaining top layer. Cover and chill, 30 minutes to overnight.
  • Combine sugar, corn syrup, egg whites, water, vanilla, and cream of tartar for frosting in a large heat-proof bowl; stir until well combined. Place the bowl over a double boiler and whisk using an electric hand mixer until thick and glossy, about 7 minutes. Take care that the double boiler doesn't reach higher than a slow simmer.
  • Spread frosting over cooled cake immediately and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
