COCONUT CREAM CAKE



Coconut Cream Cake image

Provided by Anne Thornton, Host of Dessert First

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!

COCONUT AND BERRY CREAM ROLL



Coconut and Berry Cream Roll image

Provided by Samantha Seneviratne

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Coconut oil, melted, for pan
1 3/4 cups shredded, unsweetened coconut, toasted, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
6 large eggs, separated
1/2 plus 1/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/3 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
1 pound mixed fresh strawberries (sliced if large), raspberries, and blueberries (about 3 cups), plus more for serving
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Oil a 17-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet. Line with parchment and oil the parchment. Sprinkle the parchment evenly with 1 1/4 cups of the coconut.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup of coconut. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar until opaque, about 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and vanilla on medium speed, then increase the speed to high and continue to beat until the mixture is pale yellow, fluffy, and about doubled in size, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
  • With clean beaters, in a clean bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until they have lost that yellow hue, about 1 minute. While beating, pour in the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar. Continue to beat until you have stiff, shiny peaks, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • With a large rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Then, carefully fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture, taking care not to deflate it. Dollop the batter onto the prepared pan and then use a long, offset spatula to spread it out evenly. Again, try not to deflate the batter too much. (Without leavener, the whipped eggs are what lift the cake.)
  • Bake the cake until light golden brown and set, 20 to 24 minutes. Meanwhile, set a clean dish towel on a work surface and sprinkle it evenly with confectioners' sugar. Gently press the center of the cake and it should spring back. Cut around the edges of the warm cake with a sharp knife to release it from the pan, then invert it onto the prepared dish towel. Remove the parchment paper. Roll up the towel and the cake, starting with the short end, and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To finish: Toss the berries with the granulated sugar and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour.
  • Whip the cream and confectioners' sugar to stiff peaks. (Do not overwhip.) Reserve 2 cups of the whipped cream for serving. Unroll the cake. Spread with the remaining whipped cream and top evenly with the berries, lifting them out of the syrup with a slotted spoon. Roll the cake back up and transfer to a serving plate. To serve, sprinkle the cake with confectioners' sugar before slicing. Serve each piece with extra berries, a drizzle of the reserved berry syrup and dollop of the reserved whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the baking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cake roll the best flavor and texture. If possible, use organic ingredients for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake roll tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake roll at the right temperature: The cake roll should be baked at a moderate temperature (350°F) for about 10-12 minutes. If the oven is too hot, the cake roll will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Don't overfill the cake roll pan: The batter should only fill the pan about 1/2 to 2/3 full. If the pan is too full, the cake roll will rise too much and may crack.
  • Roll the cake roll immediately after baking: Once the cake roll is baked, it should be rolled up immediately. This will help prevent the cake from cracking.
  • Chill the cake roll before frosting: Chilling the cake roll before frosting will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

The creamy coconut cake roll is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy cake, creamy coconut filling, and rich chocolate ganache, this cake roll is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give this creamy coconut cake roll a try. You won't be disappointed!
