Chocolate Coconut Pound Cake Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-61574

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil, room temperature
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit. Butter an 8"x4" loaf pan; line with parchment paper, leaving a generous overhang on long sides. Whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat oil, ¼ cup butter, and 1½ cups sugar until pale and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend between additions; beat until mixture is very light and doubled in volume, 5-8 minutes. Add vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low and add dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with buttermilk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with dry ingredients (do not over mix; it will cause cake to buckle and split). Scrape batter into prepared pan and run a spatula through the center, creating a canal. Sprinkle with coconut and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake cake, tenting with foil if coconut browns too much before cake is done (it should be very dark and toasted), until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 70-80 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cake cool in pan 20 minutes before turning out. DO AHEAD: Cake can be baked 5 days ahead. Keep tightly wrapped at room temperature.

I made this cake last weekend and it was delicious! I used a bundt pan and it turned out perfect. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the coconut and chocolate flavors were a perfect combination.
