EGG-FREE TRIPLE LAYER COCONUT CAKE



Egg-Free Triple Layer Coconut Cake image

This is a cool, refreshing refrigerated layer cake with intense coconut flavor. Using coconut milk in the cake batter gives the cake a moist texture, makes up for the lack of eggs and gives the cake a light coconut flavor. I have had success with this egg replacer mixture in other baking recipes. It is the equivalent of using two large eggs. The icing is creamy and delicious with flakes of coconut throughout and sprinkled atop the iced cake. Please note that in order for the icing to adhere properly to the cake, the cake itself MUST be completely cooled.

Yield 1 cake, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract)
1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed
1 cup sour cream
1 cup sugar
2 cups coconut, flaked, sweetened

Steps:

  • Prepare icing eight hours before baking cake to allow enough time for it to set/chill. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Cool Whip, sour cream and sugar. Fold in 1 cup coconut. Chill for at least 8 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Grease and generously flour three 9" cake pans.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbs. water, 3 tbs. oil and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine all other ingredients and then add egg replacer mixture.
  • With an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until smooth. Pour batter evenly into cake pans.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
  • Cool cakes on a wire rack for 1 to 2 hours or until completely cooled. Carefully turn cakes out of pan.
  • Apply icing between each layer and on the top and sides of cake. (Note: Cakes must be completely cool. Otherwise, the icing will not adhere and will melt down the sides of the cake.).
  • Sprinkle top and sides generously with remaining coconut.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve. Store left overs in refrigerator.

Yield Makes 1 (9-inch) 2-layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3 cups sifted cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 recipe Seven-Minute Coconut Frosting
2 cups natural coconut flakes, sweetened or unsweetened, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and grease. Lightly flour the pans; set aside.
  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each before adding the next one.
  • Sift the flour one more time, adding the baking powder. Add it in thirds to the batter, alternating with the coconut milk and beating well after each addition. Beat in the extracts.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two pans, and gently tap the bottoms against the countertop to get rid of any air bubbles. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans at least 10 minutes, then invert the pans onto greased wire racks. Remove and discard the parchment paper, then turn the cakes over and let them cool completely before frosting.
  • Set one layer on a cake plate and cover evenly with 3/4 to 1 cup of the frosting. Set the other layer on top and use the remaining frosting to ice the top and side of the cake. Cover the top and side of the cake evenly with the coconut flakes. This cake does not require refrigeration.

TRIPLE COCONUT POKE CAKE RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Triple Coconut Poke Cake Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 13

CAKE
1 (18.25-ounce) package white cake mix
4 large egg whites
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
3 teaspoons coconut extract
3/4 cup shredded coconut
TOPPING
2 (3.4-ounce) package coconut instant pudding mix
4 cups milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
3 teaspoons coconut extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. In a mixing bowl, combine white cake mix, egg whites, oil, milk and coconut extract. Mix until all ingredients until thoroughly mixed. Bake cake in 9x13" for 20-22 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, you cake is done. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. While the oven is still on, toast the coconut. Spread out on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or baking mat. Bake until coconut starts to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool. While the cake is still warm, take the end of a wooden spoon or another round object and poke holes all over the top of your cake. When the cake has cooled, prepare the pudding layer by mixing instant coconut pudding with 4 cups of cold milk. Before the pudding sets, pour it over the top of the cake slowly and put the cake in the fridge to let the pudding set, about 15 minutes. The longer it sets the better. Prepare the whipped cream. Put the bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to get them really cold (this step is optional, but a common practice I use.). In cold mixing bowl, pour in heavy whipping cream and beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes. Add powdered sugar and coconut extract. Mix and increase speed to medium high. Beat until stiff peak form. Spread whipped cream over the top of cake. Sprinkle with toasted coconut. This cake must stay refrigerated.
