CHOCOLATE COCONUT CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick spray
One 14-ounce bag sweetened shredded coconut (about 4 cups)
2 teaspoons instant espresso
1 1/4 cups water
One 15.25-ounce box chocolate fudge cake mix, such as Betty Crocker
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
Two 8-ounce blocks Neufchatel cream cheese, at room temperature
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle half of the shredded coconut on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
  • Combine the instant espresso and water in a measuring cup; stir until dissolved. Add to a medium bowl, along with the cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat for 2 minutes with a handheld mixer on medium speed. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a baking rack and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, butter, coconut milk, salt and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer on medium speed until light, fluffy and smooth, about 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining (untoasted) coconut with a rubber spatula.
  • If the cakes have domed in the center, trim to level the tops. Place one cake layer, up-side down, on a platter or plate. Spoon one-third of the frosting on top and spread evenly, almost completely to the edge. Place the other layer, up-side down, on top, pressing gently to anchor. Using an offset spatula, evenly frost the entire cake; if the frosting gets too soft, place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Gently press the toasted coconut around the outside of the cake and sprinkle it over the top.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

CHOCOLATE-COCONUT FUDGE



Chocolate-Coconut Fudge image

You start with the smoothest, creamiest chocolate fudge recipe ever, then sprinkle on the toasted sweetened coconut flakes.

Provided by Bonnie Jean Gorder-Hinchey

Categories     Dessert

Yield Yields twenty-five 1-1/2-inch pieces.

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 Tbs. cold unsalted butter; more at room temperature for buttering the thermometer and pan
3-3/4 cups granulated sugar
2-1/2 cups toasted sweetened coconut flakes
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 Tbs. light corn syrup
1 tsp. table salt

Steps:

  • Lightly butter the face of a candy thermometer and set aside. Put the sugar, cream, chocolate, corn syrup, and salt in a large (4-quart) heavy-duty saucepan and stir with a spoon or heatproof spatula until the ingredients are moistened and combined. Stirring gently and constantly, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, 7 to 12 minutes. Cover the saucepan and let the steam clean the sides of the pan for 2 minutes. Clip the candy thermometer to the pot, being careful not to let the tip of the thermometer touch the bottom of the pot, or you might get a false reading. Let the mixture boil without stirring until it reaches 236°F to 238°F, 2 to 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and add the butter, but do not stir it into the mixture. Set the pan on a rack in a cool part of the kitchen. Don't disturb the pan in any way until the mixture has cooled to 110°F, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Meanwhile, line the bottom and sides of an 8×8-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides of the pan. Butter the foil. Set the pan aside. Remove the thermometer from the fudge mixture. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on high speed until it is a few shades lighter in color and thickens enough that the beaters form trails that briefly expose the bottom of the pan as they pass through, 10 to 20 minutes. After beating the fudge, stir in 2-1/4 cups toasted sweetened coconut flakes. Pour the thickened fudge into the prepared pan, using a rubber spatula to help nudge it out of the pot. You can scrape the bottom of the pot but not the sides; any crystals that stick to the pot stay in the pot. Smooth the top of the fudge with the spatula. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the coconut over the fudge. Set the pan on a rack and let the fudge cool completely, about 2 hours. The fudge will be slightly soft the day it's made but will firm up overnight. Turn the fudge out onto a clean cutting board and peel off the foil. Turn the slab of fudge right side up and cut it into 25 equal pieces. The fudge will keep for a week to 10 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Time 40m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups white sugar
½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
½ cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Butter an 8 inch square baking dish, and set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, sour cream, corn syrup and butter. Bring to a boil; cover and cook one minute. Stir until well blended. Remove the lid, and without stirring, heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
  • Remove from the heat, and add the chocolate and vanilla. Do not stir. Set the pan over a wire rack until the mixture cools to about 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). This should take about 15 minutes.
  • Beat the fudge with a wooden spoon until it thickens and loses its gloss. Stir in walnuts, and pour into the buttered dish. Spread evenly, then set aside to cool. Cut into small squares.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • To achieve a smooth and creamy fudge, make sure to stir the mixture constantly while it is cooking.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check the doneness of the fudge by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If the fudge forms a firm ball, it is ready.
  • For a fun variation, you can add chopped nuts, dried fruits, or marshmallows to the fudge.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to two weeks.
