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.

COCONUT LOAF CAKE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x 5-inch loaf pan. To make the cake: Beat the butter at medium speed, using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, for about 10 seconds. Gradually add the sugar, beating all the while. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl midway through, until the mixture has lightened in color and is fluffy. See our creaming butter and sugar video for a great demonstration of this technique. Add the eggs one at a time, beating each in completely before adding the next. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, and beat briefly, just until combined; the mixture will look curdled. Beat in the salt, baking powder, coconut flavor, and vanilla. Add the flour to the bowl in three portions, alternating with the cream, and beginning and ending with the flour. Beat at low speed, just to combine, after each addition. Stir in the flaked coconut. Scoop the batter into the pan, smoothing its top surface. Bake the cake for about 70 to 75 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center/top of the loaf comes out clean. Tent it gently with aluminum foil for the final 15 minutes of baking, if it appears to be getting too brown. Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool in the pan for a couple of minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely. To make the frosting: Mix the butter and cream cheese at low speed, until thoroughly combined. Gently beat in the sugar, coconut milk powder, salt, and coconut flavor, until smooth. Place the cake on a large piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Spread the frosting all over the cake. Pat the flaked coconut onto the frosting. This will be sticky work; use the paper or wrap to help. Serve the cake in 1/2" to 3/4" slices. Store any leftovers, well-wrapped, in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Freeze for longer storage. Yield: one 9" loaf cake, about 15 servings. Tips from our bakers: For smoothest frosting, make sure the butter and cream cheese are both at room temperature before you begin

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with rack in lower third. Sift together flour and 1/2 cup sugar into a bowl. Sift again.
- Put egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer; beat on medium speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar, lemon juice, salt, and extract; beat until soft peaks form. With mixer running, gradually add remaining cup sugar. Raise speed to medium-high; beat until stiff peaks form.
- Gently transfer egg-white mixture to a large, shallow bowl; sprinkle one-third of the flour mixture over top. Using a large whisk, gently fold flour mixture into batter. Sprinkle remaining flour mixture over whites in two batches; fold until combined (do not overmix). Transfer batter to a 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom; run a knife through batter to eliminate air bubbles. Smooth top.
- Bake until a cake tester comes out clean and top is springy to the touch, 45 to 50 minutes. If pan has legs, invert and stand it on them. (Alternatively, invert pan over a narrow-necked heavy bottle.) Let cake cool completely, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Run a knife around edges of cake; lift out of pan. Using a serrated knife, cut cake in half horizontally; place bottom on a serving platter. Spread 2 cups coconut cream on bottom layer; set other half on top, and coat with remaining coconut cream. Top cake with coconut. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.

Steps:
- Make cake: Preheat oven to 325°F and line the bottom of 2 buttered 9x2-inch round cake pans with parchment. Butter paper and dust pans with flour, knocking out excess flour.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together cream of coconut, milk, and extracts in a bowl.
- Beat together butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add whole eggs and egg whites, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, until combined well. On low speed, beat in flour mixture and cream of coconut mixture alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, until just combined (do not overbeat).
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans (about 2-3/4 cups per pan) and smooth tops. Bake cake layers in middle of oven until golden and a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer pans to racks and let cool for 5 minutes. Run a small knife around edges of pans and invert layers onto racks. Peel off paper, then reinvert layers right side up and cool.
- Make Frosting and Filling: Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in butter and lime zest until smooth. Slowly beat in confectioners' sugar on low speed until smooth for frosting. Transfer 1 cup of frosting to a bowl and fold in pineapple for filling.
- Place 1 cake layer on a serving platter and spread top evenly with filling. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes. Top with second layer, then spread top and sides with frosting. Chill cake until frosting is slightly firm. Coat top and sides of cake evenly with coconut flakes. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

- Toast the coconut flakes in a pan over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant for a more intense coconut flavor.

- For a decadent treat, drizzle the cake with chocolate ganache or caramel sauce before serving.
