Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
One 15.25-ounce box devil's food cake mix (plus required ingredients)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup marshmallow creme
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Pink gel food coloring
One .25-ounce envelope unflavored gelatin (2 1/2 teaspoons)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the cake and filling: Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. Prepare and bake the devil's food cake according to the package directions. Let cool completely.
  • Combine the butter and marshmallow creme in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. Add the confectioners' sugar and heavy cream and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a piping bag fitted with a long thin round tip.
  • Flip the cake so it is flat-side up. Make 12 evenly-spaced holes in the bottom of the cake using a skewer, pressing only halfway down into the cake and wiggling the skewer slightly to widen the holes until they are each about 1 inch wide. Insert the piping tip in each of the holes and pipe in some marshmallow mixture until it starts to ooze out the top of the hole. Flip the cake flat-side down onto a cake stand or serving platter.
  • For the topping: Combine the coconut and confectioners' sugar in a large resealable plastic bag, seal and shake well. Dissolve 5 to 6 drops of food coloring in 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Drizzle the food coloring over the coconut and toss well, massaging the bag with your hands to evenly distribute the color.
  • Combine the gelatin with 6 tablespoons water in a small bowl and set aside. Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until it reaches 235 to 240 degrees F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Pour the corn syrup mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, along with the vanilla and bloomed gelatin. Whip on high speed until thick and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
  • Spread the marshmallow mixture all over the cake with a small offset spatula. Pat the coconut all over the cake. Let sit 30 minutes for the topping to set before serving.

SNOWY COCONUT LOAF CAKE



Snowy coconut loaf cake image

Have the kids help you make this snowy coconut loaf cake. Decorate with coconut shavings, 'snowballs', and anything else you like

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

185g butter softened, plus extra for the tin
185g coconut milk, whisked
250g caster sugar
250g self-raising flour
3 large eggs
1 tsp coconut extract (optional)
25g desiccated coconut
100g butter, softened
250g icing sugar
2 tbsp coconut milk
½ tsp coconut extract (optional)
25g coconut chips or desiccated coconut
white chocolate truffles or large white sprinkles, to decorate (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 900g loaf tin (ours measured 10 x 21 x 5cm) and line the base with a long strip of baking parchment that overhangs the sides.
  • Put the butter, coconut milk, sugar, flour, eggs, coconut extract (if using) and desiccated coconut in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until combined. Scrape into the prepared tin and level the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Bake for 55 mins-1 hr, or until the cake is risen and golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. If any wet cake mixture clings to the skewer, bake for another 5-10 mins, then check again. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then lift the cake out onto a wire rack, using the parchment to help you. Leave to cool completely. The cooled cake will keep in the freezer, well wrapped, for up to two months.
  • To make the icing, beat the butter, sugar, coconut milk and coconut extract, if using, in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread over the top of the cake using a palette knife or the back of a spoon, then scatter over a generous layer of coconut chips. Decorate with white chocolate truffle 'snowballs' or large white sprinkles, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose fresh, unsweetened coconut and creamy cream cheese.
  • If you don't have a mixer, you can make the cake batter by hand. Just be sure to mix it well until it's smooth and creamy.
  • For a more intense coconut flavor, toast the coconut before adding it to the cake batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter, or the cake will be tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
  • If you're using a cream cheese frosting, be sure to let it come to room temperature before whipping it. This will make it easier to spread.
  • For a fun presentation, roll the frosted cake in additional shredded coconut.

Conclusion:
