Time 1h55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
6 egg whites
¾ cup milk
2 teaspoons coconut extract
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup sweetened flaked coconut
½ cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 drops food coloring, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Butter the sides of two 9-inch cake pans and line the bottoms of the pans with 9-inch parchment paper.
  • Beat unsalted butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
  • Whisk egg whites, milk, and coconut extract in a separate bowl.
  • Thoroughly mix about 1/3 of the flour mixture into the creamed butter and sugar; stir in half the egg white-milk mixture. Repeat twice more, ending with final 1/3 of flour mixture; stir to make a smooth batter.
  • Pour batter into prepared cake pans and smooth tops with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Cool cakes in pans on racks for about 5 minutes before turning out onto racks to cool completely. Peel parchment paper from cakes.
  • Stir sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; stir in 3/4 cup flaked coconut. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Bring 1/2 cup heavy cream to a simmer over low heat; gradually stir in chocolate until thoroughly melted and the mixture is thick and smooth. Allow to cool to lukewarm.
  • Place a cake layer onto a serving platter; top with the condensed milk-coconut mixture. Place second cake layer over the coconut filling. Spread warm chocolate mixture evenly over top and sides of cake with a thin spatula.
  • Toss 1 cup flaked coconut in a bowl with food coloring until coconut is evenly colored; sprinkle coconut over chocolate topping to serve.

Time 1h

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package german chocolate cake mix with pudding
1 (8 1/2 ounce) can cream of coconut (this is NOT coconut milk)
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
4 ounces German chocolate, coarsely chopped (I buy a 4oz bar of Baker's brand in the baking aisle)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease and flour a 9x13" cake pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, place the cake mix, cream of coconut, sour cream, oil, and eggs. Mix with an electric mixer on low for 1 minute.
  • Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Increasing the mixer speed to medium, mix for 2 more minutes, until the batter is well blended.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake the cake for 40 minutes. It's done when it springs back when lightly pressed with your finger. It might need up to 5 more minutes, depending on your oven.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and cool, in the pan, on a wire rack.
  • Prepare the frosting:.
  • Place the chocolate in a small glass bowl in the microwave, and melt on high power for 90 seconds. Stir until all the chocolate has melted. Set aside.
  • Place the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds. Add the melted chocolate, and blend with the mixer on low for another 30 seconds or so, until the chocolate is incorporated.
  • Add the milk, vanilla, and 3 ½ cups of the powdered sugar. Blend on low speed for 30 seconds. Add up to ½ cup more sugar as needed to make the frosting a spreadable consistency. Mix on medium speed for 1 more minute, until the frosting is fluffy.
  • Spread frosting on cooled cake.
  • Sprinkle the coconut on top.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the cake tough.
