COCONUT CAKE WITH 7-MINUTE FROSTING
Steps:
- For the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil 2 (9-inch) cake pans. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper. Oil the parchment paper and then flour the pan. Set aside.
- Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Combine the coconut milk and coconut cream in small bowl and set aside.
- Place the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer and using the paddle attachment, cream on medium speed until fluffy, approximately 1 minute. Decrease the speed to low and gradually add the sugar slowly over 1 to 2 minutes. Once all of the sugar has been added, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides. Turn the mixer back on to medium speed and continue creaming until the mixture noticeably lightens in texture and increases slightly in volume, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the coconut extract.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixture to the butter and sugar in 3 batches, ending with the milk mixture. Do not over mix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the batter, just until combined. Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bang the pans on the counter top several times to remove any air and to distribute the batter evenly in the pan. Place in the oven on the middle rack. Bake for 40 minutes or until the cake is light golden in color and reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees F.
- Cool the cake in the pans for 10 minutes then remove and transfer to a cooling rack. Once the cakes have cooled completely cut across the equator of each to form 4 layers. Place the 1/3 cup coconut water into a small spritz bottle and spray evenly onto the cut side of the 4 layers. If you do not have a spritz bottle you may brush the coconut water on with a silicone pastry brush. Allow to sit while preparing the frosting.
- For the frosting:
- Bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium to maintain a steady simmer. In the meantime, place the egg whites, sugar, coconut water, cream of tartar and salt into a medium size-mixing bowl. Place the bowl over the simmering water and immediately begin beating with an electric hand mixer set to low speed. Beat for 1 minute and then increase the speed to high and continue to beat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and beat in the coconut and vanilla extracts for 1 minute. Allow the frosting to sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Place approximately 3/4 cup of the frosting on the first layer of cake, sprinkle with 1/2 cup coconut and top with the next layer. Repeat until you reach the top layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake and sprinkle with the remaining coconut. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
COCONUT LAYER CAKE WITH LEMON FILLING AND MARSHMALLOW-LIKE FROST
I LOVE this recipe so much.. make it for a party or birthday when you want to WOW your guests. I hope that you enjoy making this, I know I did!! Not a beginner recipe but a great one to have your kids assist you with the filling or frosting! Originally found in "The Summer Book" by Susan Branch. Make sure you have a double boiler for the filling and a candy thermometer for the frosting! NOTE: I made four 8" layer cakes by doubling the recipe, rather than using one batch to make three 8" layer cakes. Be generous!

- Add egg tolks and beat until thick and lemon colored.
- With a fork, mix together dry ingredients.
- Add dry ingredients alternately with the milk.

- Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
- Cool completely and remove from pans.
- Freeze if time permits.
- Before filling and frosting, cut off rough edges of cake with sharp scissors.
- To Make The Lemon Filling:.
- When grating rind take special care to not get the bitter white part.
- Put all ingredients in a double boiler.
- Stir over simmering water until thickened (approximately 15-20 minutes).
- Chill.
- To Make The Marshmallow-Like Frosting:.
- Stir the water, sugar, cream of tartar and salt together in a small heavy-bottomed pan.
- Hook a candy thermometer to the edge of the pan and boil without stirring until the mixture reaches 240°F.
- Meanwhile, beat egg whites until stiff.
- Pour the 240° syrup over the egg whites in a thin stream, beating constantly until thick and glossy.
- To Assemble: Remove cake layers from freezer.
- Spread the chilled filling between the layers, trying to not let much of it get out the sides.
- Frost the cake with the marshmallow-like frosting and sprinkle coconut on thickly, gently pressing it into the sides.
- If the cake slips around, gently slide it back straight.
- Decorate top with a flower or group of leaves. I use three strawberry leaves and a flower set in the center.
- Can be refrigerated.

COCONUT SHEET CAKE WITH MARSHMALLOW-CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
When I'm looking for a cake with a casual and homey feel I always go for a sheet cake. I love this version because it's fluffy and sweet and full of natural coconut flavor. The coconut can be used raw or toasted, although I prefer the later because it contributes a deeper flavor to the finished cake.
