Number Of Ingredients 24

THE CAKE:
1/2 c shortening
1 3/4 c white sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs
2 c sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 c cold water
1/2 c sour cream
COCONUT MACAROON FILLING:
1 egg white
1/4 c white sugar
1 c flaked coconut
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
VANILLA GLAZE:
(or add 2-tablespoons coco powder to make chocolate)
2 c sifted confectioners' sugar
1 Tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp milk, or as much as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  • 2. In a large bowl, blend together the shortening, 1 3/4 cups white sugar, egg yolk and vanilla until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time using an electric mixer. Combine 2 cups flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; stir into the egg mixture alternately with the sour cream and water. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
  • 3. In a separate bowl with clean beaters, whip the egg white until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in 1/4 cup white sugar while continuing to whip to firm peaks. Fold in the coconut, 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 teaspoon of vanilla by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon. Drop this mixture by teaspoonfuls over the chocolate batter in the pan. Be careful not to let the filling touch the sides of the pan.
  • 4. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a wire rack to allow the cake to cool completely. Remove cake from pan, and drizzle with vanilla glaze.
  • 5. To make vanilla glaze, mix together the confectioners' sugar, butter and milk in a small bowl, gradually adding milk until the mixture is thick but pourable. Drizzle over cooled cake (don't forget to add 2 tablespoons of coco powder if you want to make it chocolate).
  • 6. NOTE: Now you know I change her recipe up a bit...I use Splenda and my homemade Splenda Powdered sugar. I also use my homemade pure Vanilla. Enjoy!!!

This cake was a disaster! It was dry, crumbly, and the macaroon filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good. The macaroon filling was a nice touch, and the chocolate ganache glaze was the perfect finishing touch.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using a semisweet chocolate instead of a bittersweet chocolate, if you prefer a less sweet cake.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The cake was a bit dry, and the macaroon filling was too runny. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'll definitely try again soon.
