Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can(s) can of cream of coconut : can be found ususally around the mixed drink area/items in your store along with the coconut milk or in your baking section depending on your store.
1 can(s) can of coconut milk, unsweetened
1 box box white cake mix any brand.
1, 1/2 c sweetened coconut flakes or more to your liking, 1/2 cup is if you desire to toast some for the top accent.
1 pkg thawed whipped topping
1 1/ plastic straw to make holes in cake.
1 mixing bowl, whisk, spatula/spoon
1 electric, or stand mixer : if you desire to use
2 Tbsp coconut extract or less as you desire. i find 2 is perfect for our liking.
1 c whipped fluffy cake frosting, white : note ****(if you desire the sweeter frosting topping only) you do not need this one to make the regular wet coconut cake)*****
1 cap of vanilla extract: or to your liking.

Steps:

  • 1. Make cake to box directions, I like to add one cap full of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons coconut. BUT you can use just the vanilla or almond extract or both to the cake batter.
  • 2. after cake is done and cooled, use straw (what we always used) or use a kabob stick etc. Take the straw, poke it, make holes all over cake. In mixing bowl add the can of cream of coconut, coconut milk mix well with wisk. or electric beater, stand mixer which ever you are using or prefer to use. ****Remember to reserve about 3 tbsps or up to 1/4 of a cup, as you desire of this mixture to add in for topping. Then proceed to pour this mixture SLOWLY over the cake evenly ensuring it soaks in every part of the cake. I then take a spatula or spoon and scoop up any leftover thats near sides, re pour over cake, YOU need to allow time to soak in, 5/10 mins at least. to ensure its all soaked in. After all its called a WET COCONUT CAKE> :)
  • 3. Once the milk mixture has soaked in well proceed to use the Reserved amount of coconut cream/milk mixture, add well with the whipped topping, and a half cup of sweetened coconut to a cup to your desire, mix this well with wisk or spoon, or whatever your using. Then proceed to spoon onto cake in a even layer and to top and sides. lastly top the cake with the toasted sweetened coconut flakes... EAT, ENJOY!!!!
  • 4. **** ( IF YOU DESIRE A SWEETER TOPPING ADD the 1 cup of whipped fluffy white frosting) we like it a bit sweeter sometimes so we tried diff things, liked adding this, but you DO NOT HAVE TO**** This cake gets better over time, and has to be covered, refrigerated to keep. Will last a few days if kept properly, BUT there is not many left overs when i make this cake to last that long. again this was my grandmothers favorite cake ever. so i wanted to share with all of you.

MOIST COCONUT CAKE



Moist Coconut Cake image

This is a rich, moist coconut cake. I frost it with whipped white chocolate ganache. Sometimes I sprinkle it with toasted shredded coconut. It can also be made as cupcakes. Don't be put off by the prep time, as it includes cooling time for the cake and chilling for the ganache.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup coconut milk
1 ½ cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 cup heavy cream
12 (1 ounce) squares good quality white chocolate
2 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Cream sugar and butter together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy; scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add egg, coconut flavoring, baking powder, and salt; beat for 1 minute and scrape the bowl. Beat in coconut milk until combined. Stir in flour until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat for 3 minutes.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread until smooth. Drop the pan from 2 inches above the counter a few times to eliminate any large air pockets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the sides of the cake pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely, 30 minutes or longer.
  • Meanwhile, bring cream to a full boil, watching carefully to prevent scorching. Remove pan from the heat and add white chocolate; stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Place in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove chocolate mixture from the refrigerator and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Frost the cooled cake and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
