COCONUT COCONUT MILK CAKE



Coconut Coconut Milk Cake image

This is a super moist and tasty coconut cake. Growing up in Brazil, this was a favorite amongst our circle of friends. It is especially good with a cup of coffee on the side. I've converted a few of my anti-coconut family and friends into lovers of this cake.

Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
4 eggs, separated
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan.
  • Beat sugar, butter, and egg yolks together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; add shredded coconut.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Stir creamed butter mixture, alternating with coconut milk, into flour mixture until batter is just mixed.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold egg whites into batter. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

COCONUT POUND CAKE (USING COCONUT MILK)



Coconut Pound Cake (Using Coconut Milk) image

I was looking online for a coconut pound cake that used coconut milk and came across one that was similar to the one that I wanted. However, I made quite a few changes and I believe that it has been perfected :-) This pound cake has a wonderfully rich coconut flavor b/c it uses coconut milk. The coconut milk and coconut are both un-sweetened, so you may add a little more sugar if you'd like, but this recipe is great even if you don't have a "sweet tooth". ADDITIONAL NOTES: After readin some of the reviews, I tried this same recipe and added a "Brown suger Toasted Coconut Glaze". It makes it even better. See below

MUNG BEAN CAKE WITH COCONUT MILK



Mung Bean Cake With Coconut Milk image

I found this recipe years ago, but don't remember where. I have made it a few times to accompany an Asian meal, and it has always been well-received. Don't let the shallots scare you off. They are quite sweet tasting when browned, like caramelized onions. Mung beans can be found in Asian markets, or Asian sections of larger supermarkets. This is a very dense, moist cake.

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c yellow mung beans
1 1/2 c canned coconut milk, unsweetened
1 1/2 c light brown sugar (or 1/2 cup thai palm sugar)
6 large eggs
1/2 c finely chopped shallot
3 Tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium pot, combine beans with 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, until beans are soft. Puree in blender.
  • 2. In a bowl, beat coconut milk and sugar until frothy. Add eggs and beat well. Add bean puree and mix thoroughly. Put mixture in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until mixture begins to thicken.
  • 3. Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square cake pan (use metal or make sure glass pan is heat-tempered glass, since you will be putting hot pan in cold water later).
  • 4. Pour mixture into prepared cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Raise heat to 450°F and bake another 25 to 30 minutes, until cake turns a deep amber.
  • 5. Remove from oven and immediately immerse pan in 1/2 inch cold water for 10 minutes. Change water to ensure it stays cold and leave pan another 15 minutes.
  • 6. In a small pan, heat oil and sauté the shallots until light brown. Drain off the oil and spread the shallots over the top of the cake. Cut into 9 squares. Serve warm or cold.
  • 7. Bean cake will keep 1 week in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the cake batter to come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a light hand when folding in the egg whites: Over-folding can deflate the egg whites, resulting in a less fluffy cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This helps the cake to set and makes it easier to frost.

Conclusion:

Coconut milk cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed for any occasion. With its moist, fluffy texture and rich coconut flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you're looking for a simple snack or a special dessert, coconut milk cake is a great choice.
