3 cups cake flour, sifted (not self-rising)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can light coconut milk
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
4 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup heavy cream
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup sliced almonds, roughly chopped
1/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 tablespoon sliced almonds, heaping

Steps:

  • Cake - . Heat oven to 350 degrees . Butter and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of each with a circle of wax paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a second medium bowl, whisk together sour cream and coconut milk. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at time, beating well after each addition. Beat in almondand vanilla extracts. On medium-low speed, beat in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with coconut milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
  • Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Chocolate Ganache - Heat cream in a small pot on medium-high heat just until it simmers. Immediately pour over chocolate in a medium bowl; let stand 3 minutes. Add vanilla and mix until smooth. Cover and cool to room temperature.
  • Filling - Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium-low speed until blended, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for another 3 minutes. Add vanilla and 3 tablespoons water and beat on medium-high speed for 30 seconds. Add coconut and almonds and beat for another 30 seconds. Set aside.
  • To assemble: Place one cake on a stand (if slightly rounded, trim off a bit to make it flat). Spread 1/2 the filling on the cake. Repeat with second cake and remaining filling. Top with the third cake (do not trim). Ice cake evenly with chocolate ganache. Garnish with coconut and almonds.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the batter come together more easily and will result in a more tender bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking: This will allow the gluten to relax and will result in a lighter bread.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help the bread rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the bread: Overbaking can make the bread dry. Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.

Conclusion:

Cocoa almond bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its rich chocolate flavor and crunchy almonds, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
