EASY COCONUT SHEET CAKE



Easy Coconut Sheet Cake image

This is my go-to coconut sheet cake when I am entertaining a lot of people or I need to bring something for a potluck. It is made with buttermilk which makes it super moist and delicious and it is very easy to make. Depending on what I am making it for, I either cut it into little square bites or regular-sized coconut cake pieces.

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup coconut, shredded

Steps:

  • I add coconut milk to the batter, as it's a pretty thick batter, and it adds some extra coconut flavor. I like the dense texture of this cake together with the creaminess of the cream cheese frosting, and the crunchiness of the toasted coconut. IF YOU DON'T LIKE DENSE CAKES, THIS IS NOT THE CAKE FOR YOU.!! FROSTING - I DOUBLE THIS Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Prepare a 9 x 13 pan with non stick cooking spray. Cream together butter, cream cheese and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, vanilla and then mix in flour. Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean. Cool on cooling rack Frosting: Beat together butter, cream cheese, vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Mix until well blended. You can now toast coconut.

Cut cooled cake into 24 squares and top with frosting and coconut. Note: Best kept refrigerated. Enjoy!

COCONUT SHEET CAKE WITH MARSHMALLOW-CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Coconut Sheet Cake with Marshmallow-Cream Cheese Frosting image

When I'm looking for a cake with a casual and homey feel I always go for a sheet cake. I love this version because it's fluffy and sweet and full of natural coconut flavor. The coconut can be used raw or toasted, although I prefer the later because it contributes a deeper flavor to the finished cake.

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Baking spray with flour
1 cup unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, shaken
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted unrefined coconut oil
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups (335 grams) all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups (330 grams) granulated sugar
1 cup flaked coconut, sweetened or unsweetened, toasted if desired, chopped
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes and at room temperature
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
Pinch fine salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup marshmallow creme (1/2 a 7-ounce container)
1 1/4 cups flaked coconut, sweetened or unsweetened, toasted if desired

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-by-2-inch cake pan with baking spray with flour. Line the cake pan with parchment paper and coat the parchment with the baking spray.
  • Whisk the coconut milk, eggs, oil and vanilla together in a large measuring cup until smooth. In
  • the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, chopped coconut, baking powder and salt. Mix on low for 30 seconds to combine.
  • With the mixer still on low, begin adding the cubed butter and mix until no pieces of butter remain and the mixture looks like cornmeal, 2 to 3 minutes; it should hold together when squeezed.
  • With the mixer still on low, add half of the liquid ingredients and mix to combine. Scrape the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 20 seconds. Reduce the speed to low and add the remaining liquids. Mix just until combined. Scrape the bowl and give the batter a few folds with your spatula.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, 32 to 34 minutes. Cool the cake on a wire rack completely before frosting.
  • For the marshmallow frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and then add the cream cheese and beat on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl again and add the salt, vanilla and confectioners' sugar and mix on low until combined. Scrape the bowl and paddle. Mix on medium speed until completely smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the marshmallow creme and then mix on high speed for 1 minute.
  • Spoon the frosting over the cooled cake and spread it evenly. Sprinkle with the flaked coconut and serve. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 days, making sure to bring the cake back to room temperature before enjoying.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Coconut, nuts, chocolate chips, and sprinkles are all great options for topping this cake.

Conclusion:

This coconut-topped cream cheese sheet cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, fluffy texture and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
