ZUCRE COCO -- MOROCCAN COCONUT FUDGE CAKES



Zucre Coco -- Moroccan Coconut Fudge Cakes image

Literally this translates into coconut sugar. I have added the word fudge here as these are most commonly called "cakes." Also, for ease I have used evaporated milk in the recipe though mass marketing of evaporated milk here is relatively new. Most home cooks evaporate their own milk, IF they can afford milk. This is a lovely very sweet ending to a rich meal served with strong black coffee and how we most often serve it here. This sort of recipe is made only by those who have money and certainly isn't the average person's fare who is more concerned with finding bread. Morocco is devistatingly poor with 95% of the wealth belonging to just under 5% of the people. Moroccans say it is a true blessing to be able to eat so extravagantly as to have these coconut cakes. This is quick to make and if you love coconut, this is for you! Cut into very small squares though; Moroccans adore things extremely sweet. Enjoy! c.\2005

Time 35m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups moist grated unsweetened coconut
3/4 cup evaporated milk
2 cups sugar
1 ounce butter
2 tablespoons lemon rind, grated

Steps:

  • Line an 8x8 pan or similar sized round pan with foil (as I do here as we do not have waxed paper) or waxed paper.
  • In a heavy bottomed 2qt. saucepan combine coconut, evaporated milk and sugar.
  • Simmer gently to soft ball stage; 238 degrees. Here we test in cold water and do not use a thermometer. The cooking time is my best guess as I have never made this using a western stove.
  • Stir in the butter and lemon rind and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Beat until thick and glossy as you would for fudge but beating to glossy not until it loses it's gloss.
  • Pour into prepared pan and chill 2 hours. Cut into 1/2" to 1" squares.

MOROCCAN COCONUT LEMON CAKE



Moroccan Coconut Lemon Cake image

In Morocco, cakes (called 'meskouta') aren't made with pre-packaged cake mixes purchased right off the shelf in the grocery stores. Rather, a meskouta (or cake) is nearly always made by scratch and baked fresh for serving at tea time. So most of Morocco's dessert cakes and snack cakes aren't all that complicated. They're...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

CAKE
4 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups unsweetened coconut, grated
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
ICING
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 Tbsp cream or milk (or more, if needed for consistency)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup toasted sweetened coconut, grated

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour 1 9x13-inch baking dish or two 9-inch cake pans; set aside.
  • 2. Beat together the eggs and sugar until thick. Gradually beat in the oil, then beat in the vanilla, lemon juice, and zest. Stir in the flour, coconut, baking powder and salt. Then stir in the milk. Beat until smooth.
  • 3. Pour the batter into your prepared pan(s). Bake in the middle of your preheated oven until the cake tests done - approximately 25 to 30 minutes for two round cake pans, 35 to 40 minutes for 9x13-inch pan. (You could also use a tube or bundt pan which will require about 40 minutes baking time.)
  • 4. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully run a butter knife along the edges to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan. Then turn out the cake onto a rack to cool completely.
  • 5. Mix the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla with enough cream or milk to a spreadable consistency. Spread the icing in a thin layer over the top of the cooled cake. Lightly dust the icing with toasted coconut. Allow the icing to set before serving.
