SIX-LAYER COCONUT CAKE WITH LEMON FILLING
I found this recipe when going through my grandmother's old files. It was originally made with an orange filling, but using lemon pudding in the filling makes it easier to prepare. It is simply the best. -Angela Leinenbach, Mechanicsvlle, Virginia

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 7-by-2-inch round cake pans. Line bottoms with parchment; butter parchment. Dust with flour, tapping out excess. Bake coconut on a baking sheet until dry but not golden, about 10 minutes; let cool completely.
- Whisk milk into eggs, then whisk in vanilla. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat on medium-low speed 30 seconds. Continue beating while gradually adding butter and coconut oil until mixture is crumbly, about 3 minutes. Slowly add half of milk mixture; increase speed to medium and beat until fluffy, about 1 minute. Slowly add remaining milk mixture, scraping down bowl as needed. Beat until incorporated, 30 seconds.
- Divide batter between prepared pans; tap pans on counter to release any air bubbles. Bake until golden brown and tops spring back when lightly touched, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in pans on wire racks 5 minutes, then turn out of pans, remove parchment, and let cool completely, top-sides up, on racks. For easy splitting, refrigerate 1 hour.
- Trim tops of cakes flat. Split each cake horizontally into two equal layers. Place a cake layer on a cake plate. Spread 2/3 cup curd evenly over it; top with a second cake layer. Repeat, spreading 2/3 cup curd between each layer. Finish with a cake layer, bottom-side up. Refrigerate cake, wrapped in plastic, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
- Spread 1 cup buttercream over top and sides of cake evenly to create a crumb coat. Refrigerate 15 minutes. Spread remaining 3 cups buttercream over top and sides. Coat sides with coconut. Garnish with candied lemon and mint. Cake can be refrigerated, wrapped in plastic, up to 5 days; return to room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- With an electric mixer, cream the butter and 2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut milk and vanilla. Add half of the milk mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until well blended.
- Into another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the sifted mixture to the butter mixture and stir well. Thoroughly mix in the remaining milk mixture. The batter will be very heavy.
- Using an electric mixer with clean, dry beaters and a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the beaten whites into the batter until no trace of white remains.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until the tip of a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, make the lemon curd. In the saucepan, whisk together the lemon peel, juice, sugar, and eggs.
- On medium heat, cook the mixture, whisking constantly until the curd thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- For a perfectly smooth curd, pour the curd through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the lemon peel and any bits of egg (I always do this, because there are always little egg bits in the curd).
- Whisk in the butter a little at a time.
- Refrigerate the curd until well-chilled, about an hour.
- When the cake is cooled, spread half of the lemon curd between the two layers.
- Whip the cream until stiff and stir in the remaining lemon curd. Spread the whipped lemon cream over the cake and chill well.
- Serve sprinkled with toasted coconut flakes.

With mixer running, gradually add 3/4 cup sugar and beat until thick and light yellow, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla and lemon extract. Sift flour mixture over batter and stir in by hand until no white remains. Then blend in butter stirring until it no longer looks separated. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar on high until frothy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

Remove from heat and whisk in juice, rind, butter, vanilla and lemon extract. Refrigerate until cool to touch, but not chilled and set - should still be spreadable.

COCONUT PIE BARS
This easy recipe turns a classic Southern coconut pie recipe into wonderfully chewy bar cookies with a shortbread crust. The chocolate chips are optional, but they add a bittersweet flavor that tones down the sugary coconut, especially if you use chocolate with a high cacao percentage (72 percent to 80 percent). Or, for something crunchier, use chopped pecans instead of chocolate.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square pan and line with parchment, leaving some overhanging.
- In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar and salt. Pulse in butter until crumbs form and the dough starts to come together. Press mixture into the prepared pan in an even layer. Bake until firm on top and lightly golden at the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack. You can bake the crust up to 6 hours ahead, or use it while it's still hot.
- While the crust bakes, using the same food processor (no need to wash it out first), pulse together eggs, sugar, butter, coconut milk, vinegar or lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), vanilla and salt until well combined. Pulse in the coconut. Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
- When the crust is baked, pour in the filling (crust can still be hot). Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake until the filling is set when you jiggle it and the top is browned, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, then chill for at least 2 hours. Cut into bars and serve.
LEMON COCONUT LAYER CAKE
Absolutely delicious, and a classic. This version is very light.Perfect for summer. I got a low score below for this cake, I would like to say that it is Very IMPORTANT THAT YOU BEAT THE EGGS CORRECTLY. This cake is almost similar to a chiffon, which relies heavily on the eggs for a good outcome. I also recommend that for ANY recipe you make it to try before you give it as a gift or make for a gathering.
