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.

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.
