COCONUT-LIME PUDDING CAKE



Coconut-Lime Pudding Cake image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus a bit for the pan
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs at room temperature, separated
1/2 cup limeade concentrate, thawed
3/4 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Toasted coconut, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Game Plan: Start boiling the water when you turn the oven on so it's ready when the cake goes into the oven. Separate eggs while the lime concentrate thaws in the microwave.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter a 1-quart gratin dish or 8-inch round cake pan and set it in a roasting pan.
  • Beat the 2 tablespoons butter with 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl until creamy, using a handheld electric mixer. Beat in the flour, then the egg yolks, limeade concentrate, coconut milk, and salt. (For the airiest egg whites, clean the beaters thoroughly so none of this mixture is left on them.) In another medium bowl whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks. While whipping, slowly pour in the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and continue beating until the whites hold stiff, glossy peaks. Fold a quarter of the whites into the coconut-lime mixture, then fold in the remaining whites.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and add enough boiling water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the side of the dish. Bake about 35 minutes or until the top of the pudding cake is slightly puffed and golden. Remove from the water bath and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes; serve warm. Garnish each serving with toasted coconut, if desired.

COCONUT LEMON CAKE



Coconut Lemon Cake image

Brushing lemon simple syrup onto the cake helps keep it moist. Martha made this bundt cake recipe on episode 506 of Martha Bakes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 3/4 cups (sifted twice) Italian-style "00" flour, preferably King Arthur, plus more for pan
1 tablespoon baking powder, preferably Italian
Pinch of coarse salt
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
Finely grated zest and juice of 2 large lemons
4 large eggs
1/2 cup canned coconut cream
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 cup shredded coconut, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 12-cup Bundt pan; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat butter on medium-high until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and lemon zest; beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two batches coconut cream, until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan; tap on counter, and smooth top with an offset spatula. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make lemon syrup: combine the lemon juice (you will need about 1/3 cup), remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Transfer Bundt pan to a wire rack to cool 30 minutes. Gradually brush cake with lemon syrup over the next 30 minutes as it continues to cool, letting it absorb before brushing on more. Turn out cake onto rack to cool completely. (Cake can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic, up to 3 days.)
  • In a well-chilled bowl, whisk heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar and whisk until medium-stiff peaks form. Just before serving, top cake with whipped cream, then toasted coconut.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 C all purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Place 4 1 cup ramekins and one 18 oz bowl (or any combination thereof) into a large baking pan. Fill with water 1/2 way up the sides of the ramekins. I put the larger bowl in a bread pan since I needed more water for that one.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat together the egg yolks and 3/4 C sugar until smooth. Add the flour and beat until thickened. This will take a while to do - at first it will be crumbly. Add the lemon zest. lemon juice, limoncello and milk. Beat until smooth.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the remaining 1/4 C sugar and beat with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir 1/4 of the egg white mixture into the lemon mixture. Then fold in the remaining egg white mixture until you see no more streaks. Pour the mixture into the ramekins and the bowl.
  • Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until the center is firm but springy. If the tops start to brown while still baking, cover with aluminum foil.
  • After baking, allow the ramekins to sit in the water for about 15 minutes before removing from the pans.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
