Number Of Ingredients 12

10 ounces (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup raisins
3/4 cup dark rum
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 12-cup Bundt pan; dust with flour, tapping out excess. Soak raisins in 1/2 cup rum.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside. Put butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; cream on medium speed until smooth. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. On low speed, mix in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of 6 tablespoons cream each (12 total). Mix in raisin mixture and coconut. Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top.
  • Bake, rotating about halfway through, until a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour 55 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Run a thin knife around sides of cake; unmold. Let cool.
  • Heat granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, gently stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and syrup is clear. Cook, without stirring, until syrup comes to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Let boil, gently swirling, until medium amber. Remove from heat. Carefully pour in remaining 1/4 cup rum and 2 tablespoons cream. Let cool, stirring, until thickened. Drizzle over cake.

COCONUT POPPY SEED BUNDT CAKE



Coconut Poppy Seed Bundt Cake image

This cake tastes so old-fashioned, you might be tempted not to tell anyone it starts with a mix! A hint of coconut and the tender texture make it simply scrumptious. All you need to dress it up is a dusting of powdered sugar. -Kathy Schrecengost, Oswego, New York

COCONUT BUNDT CAKE



Coconut Bundt Cake image

Bundt cakes are the best! I adapted this one from an Epicurious recipe - turned out too well to lose. Light and oh so coconutty! Bakery or dessert shop quality. Use fresh coconut milk in cartons from Trade Joes, frozen grated coconut and toast the sweetened coconut shreds beforehand. Serve with fresh homemade banana ice cream with a drizzle of dark fudge sauce or fresh fruit ice cream like peach or strawberry with mango drizzle. Original recipe has a coconut milk/powdered sugar glaze - too sweet for me.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups cake flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/2 cups sugar
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 cups packed sweetened flaked coconut or 7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
6 ounces fresh frozen grated coconut, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Generously butter 12-cup Bundt pan; dust pan with flour. This is important because all that coconut can get sticky even in a non stick pan. I use Baker's Secret & then flour after getting some sticking. If it sticks it still tastes great & isn't really noticable if served in slices w/ice cream.
  • Stir 3 cups cake flour and salt in medium bowl to blend.
  • Beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups sugar, beating until well blended. This is important and I set a timer for 2 minutes - longer than you think! Beat in eggs 1 at a time, then both extracts. Beat in flour mixture in 4 additions alternately with 1 cup coconut milk in 3 additions. Fold in toasted flaked and thawed grated coconut. Transfer batter to prepared pan; rap smartly on counter to force out air bubbles and even batter (and scare the cat and dogs in the kitchen).
  • Bake cake until top is golden brown and tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Be sure to have a drip catcher in the oven beneath the bundt pan to catch overflow if needed.
  • Cool cake in pan 5- 10 minutes but trim any overhang while hot or it will harden and hold the cake in as it cools. (yum, trimmings) Turn cake out onto rack; cool completely. Try not to pick off bits -- .

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter mix more evenly and produce a smoother, more consistent cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help ensure that the cake is evenly leavened.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
