Coconut Lime Tres Leches Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, egg whites and coconut extract with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan. Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 5 minutes. With long-tined fork, poke top of hot cake every 1/2 inch, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking. In medium bowl, mix milk, 3/4 cup of the whipping cream and the cream of coconut with whisk until blended. Microwave on High about 1 minute 30 seconds or until heated. Carefully pour mixture over top of warm cake. Cover; refrigerate 3 hours or until chilled.
• In small bowl, beat remaining 1 1/4 cups whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff (do not overbeat). Spread over cake; sprinkle with coconut. Cut cake into squares; serve with any remaining cream mixture from pan. Garnish with kiwifruit. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 170°C.
• In a bowl whip, butter, and super until fluffy.
• Add the milk and the eggs one by one, mixing in between. Then, add the coconut extract and mix well.
• Add the flour and the baking powder. Combine everything together, pour into a pre-greased mold and bake at 170° C for 35 minutes.
• Once the cake is baked, poke small holes with a toothpick or fork. Pour the milk mixture on top.
• Let it chill for three hours in the fridge.
• Toppings: For the chantilly cream: simply whip everything until it is fluffy.
• To top the cake, sprinkle coconut and lime zest.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bake the cake in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, following the package instructions. Let cool for 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, sweetened condensed coconut milk, coconut milk and vanilla.
• Poke holes all over the cake. Pour the milk mixture over the top, a little at a time, letting it soak, so that the liquid doesn't overflow. Cover and let soak in the refrigerator for at least 10 or up to 24 hours. (The cake should have absorbed all of the liquid, and there should be no liquid pooled on the top or sides.)
• Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake, then sprinkle the toasted coconut all over the top. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. Grate the 200g block of creamed coconut and keep half of it aside. Then in a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients (including half of the grated block of creamed coconut) together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
• Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon, then bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
• For the frosting, mix together the remaining creamed coconut, zest and juice of 2 limes. Microwave on High for 30 secs until the coconut melts.
• Make the buttercream by beating the butter until smooth and creamy and gradually beating in icing sugar . Then beat in the cooled coconut mix and 2-3 tbsp Malibu (optional) until it becomes marshmallowy.
• Fill the cooled sponges with a third of the frosting, cover the sides and top with the rest and coat the sides with the toasted desiccated coconut. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.
