COCONUT CREAM CAKE



Coconut Cream Cake image

Categories     dessert

Time 2h5m

Yield One 9-inch 2-layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 1/3 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Fine sea salt
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
One 13.5-ounce can sweetened cream of coconut, well stirred (recommended: Coco Lopez)
4 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut mixed with 1 1/2 cups toasted sweetened shredded coconut
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup canned sweetened cream of coconut, well stirred (recommended: Coco Lopez)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour two 9-inch diameter cake pans with 2-inch high sides.
  • Pour the flour, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Use a whisk to stir together. This will get rid of any lumps and pseudo-sift the ingredients. In a separate large bowl, beat the sugar, butter and sweetened cream of coconut until fluffy and it resembles whipped cream, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir to incorporate all the ingredients. With the mixer on low speed, beat in 1/2 the dry ingredients, followed by the buttermilk, and the remaining dry ingredients, scraping down the sides in between each addition, just until blended.
  • Using clean, dry beaters, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt in another clean large bowl until the egg whites are stiff but not dry. Cook's Note: You want to get the most volume from your egg whites, that's why it is essential that the beaters and bowl are clean. Just to be safe, I like to wipe the bowl out with a dash of vinegar, white or apple cider is best. The vinegar cuts through any fat in the bowl leaving only a sparkling bowl behind. And don't worry, you won't be able to taste the vinegar-I promise!
  • In batches, fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate the whites. Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Spread the batter with an offset spatula to level the batter in the pan. Bake the cakes until a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on a wire rack, about 10 minutes. Gently run a small sharp knife around the pan sides to loosen the cakes. Cook's Note: As the cakes cool they will shrink slightly, pulling away from the sides of the pan. By running the knife around the sides of the pan you are helping in the process by taking away any resistance. Turn the cakes out onto the racks and cool completely.
  • With a pastry brush, gently brush any crumbs from the cooled cake layers. If the cake baked up with a slight dome in the center, you can trim it to even it out or just remember to place that cake layer dome-side down on the cake plate. Place 1 cake layer, flat-side up, on a cake plate. Spread 1 heaping cup Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting over the cake layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border of cake around the edge. This will give the filling a place to go or spread when the second cake layer is placed on top-you don't want it to bulge out the sides!
  • Sprinkle 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut mix over the frosting. Top with the second cake layer, flat-side up. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake. For a retro look, I like swoopy swirls. The best way to achieve it is to spread the frosting using the back of a spoon. It's that easy!
  • Sprinkle the remaining coconut mix over the cake, gently pressing into the sides to adhere. Coconut Layer Cake can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the butter and beat until smooth. Add the sugar, sweetened cream of coconut, vanilla extract and pinch of sea salt and beat until well blended, scraping down the sides as needed, for about 3 more minutes. Cook's Note: For a tropical twist, I add just a splash of fresh lime juice and a dash of finely grated lime zest to the mix!

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE



German Chocolate Cake image

Coconut, pecans, and chocolate-this German chocolate cake satisfies any sweet tooth. Learn pastry chef Cheryl Day's recipe for the classic.

Provided by Cheryl Day

Yield Makes 1 9-by-13-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup (114 g) pecans
½ cup whole milk
1 cup cream of coconut, such as Coco López
4 Tbsp. (57 g) unsalted butter
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
3 large egg yolks
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
½ tsp. fine sea salt
1 cup (85 g) sweetened shredded coconut
5 ounces (142 g) unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped (about ¾ cup)
1 cup hot brewed coffee
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1½ cups (188 g) cake flour (not self-rising)
2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
¾ tsp. (4 g) baking soda
½ tsp. fine sea salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup sour cream, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Scatter the pecans evenly over the baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes, until lightly toasted and fragrant. Cool the nuts completely and chop.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream of coconut, and butter and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the butter is completely melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt together until smooth. Slowly pour in about ¼ cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs, so they won't curdle, and then, whisking constantly, add the remainder of the milk in a steady stream. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the coconut and pecans.
  • Let cool completely before frosting the cake. The frosting can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan or coat with nonstick spray. Line the pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
  • Put the chocolate in a medium bowl and pour in the hot coffee and vanilla. Let stand for about 2 minutes to melt the chocolate, then stir until smooth.
  • While the chocolate is melting, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl, using a handheld mixer), combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Let the mixer run on low speed for 2 to 3 minutes to aerate the flour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and oil together until thick, satiny, and light in color. Whisk in the sour cream, being careful not to overmix; leave some visible streaks of white.
  • Pour in the melted chocolate mixture and mix until just combined.
  • With the mixer on medium speed, add the chocolate-sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients in thirds, mixing until well blended. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand (if using) and, using a rubber spatula, incorporate any ingredients hiding at the bottom of the bowl, making sure the batter is completely mixed.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pans firmly on the countertop to remove any air bubbles from the batter.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes, then use the parchment "handles" to lift the cake out of the pan and set it on the rack to cool completely.
  • Transfer the cake to a serving platter (you can keep the edges of the platter clean while you frost the cake by sliding strips of parchment underneath the cake). Frost the top and sides of the cake with the frosting.
  • The cake can be stored, loosely covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

  • Coconut Cakes:.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray two 10-inch round cake pans with baking spray; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5 to 6 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until creamy, occasionally scraping down sides of the bowl using a spatula.
  • In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, mix together cream, vanilla, and coconut extract. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture, alternating with cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour; beat until just combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before removing cakes from pans.
  • Simple Syrup:.
  • Place water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Coconut Cake Frosting:.
  • Place butter and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until creamy.
  • With mixer on low speed, slowly add vanilla extract, seeds from vanilla bean, and confectioners' sugar. Continue beating until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  • Coconut Filling:.
  • Place cream, sugar, and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together cornstarch, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon water. Add to cream mixture, bring to a boil, and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Place coconut in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coconut is finely chopped. Remove cream mixture from heat and stir in coconut until well combined. Transfer to a large baking dish; let cool.
  • Cover filling with plastic wrap and chill overnight. Just before using, place mixture in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until smooth and creamy, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • To assemble:.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread coconut flakes in an even layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden, 5 to 7 minutes; set aside to cool.
  • Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes to make level; discard trimmings. Cut each cake into 3 even layers. Place four strips of parchment paper around perimeter of a serving plate or lazy Susan.
  • Place one layer on the cake plate. Brush with about one-fifth of the simple syrup. Spread over 2 cups of filling. Place a second layer on top. Repeat process with the next four layers and top with last remaining layer.
  • Spread top and sides of cake with frosting, keeping in mind you may not need to use all of it. Press toasted coconut into sides of cake; remove parchment paper strips. Chill cake at least 5 hours and up to 5 days. Slice immediately; bring to room temperature before serving.

ITALIAN CREAM CAKE II



Italian Cream Cake II image

A very moist, coconut-pecan cake that is not too dense with a cream cheese frosting. Really Delicious.

Provided by bakeabit

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 3 layer Round Cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup shortening, room temperature
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
5 eggs, separated and at room temperature
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup finely chopped pecans or 1 cup walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup butter, softened at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (16 ounce) box powdered sugar, sifted
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans or 3/4 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and grease and flour 3 (9-inch) cake pans.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the shortening, butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt together onto a sheet of waxed or parchment paper. With the mixer on low speed, add the sifted ingredients in batches alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, and gently fold into the prepared batter. Add the coconut, pecans and vanilla and fold into the batter. Divide the batter among the 3 prepared cake pans and bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and a tester comes out clean when inserted into the middle of each cake. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. When the cakes are completely cool, stack the layers with the frosting and frost the sides and top.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, butter and vanilla and, using an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy. Add the sifted powdered sugar and mix until thoroughly combined. Add the nuts and fold together. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to frost the cake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut cream. Fresh coconut cream is thicker and has a richer flavor than canned coconut cream. If you can't find fresh coconut cream, you can use canned coconut cream, but be sure to use full-fat coconut cream and not coconut milk.
  • Toast the coconut flakes. Toasting the coconut flakes will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast the coconut flakes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Coconut cream cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture, rich coconut flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this coconut cream cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
