Provided by á-2908

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup almonds, sliced
Parchment paper
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
5 large eggs
1 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon almond extract
Coconut-Almond Filling
Coconut-Cream Cheese Frosting
Garnishes: kumquats, currants, fresh mint sprigs (Optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake coconut in a single layer in a shallow pan 6 minutes. Place almonds in a single layer in another shallow pan; bake, with coconut, 7 to 9 minutes or until almonds are fragrant and coconut is lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Line 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with parchment paper. Grease and flour paper. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a very large bowl. Beat butter at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating until blended. Beat 8 minutes or until very fluffy, scraping bottom and sides of bowl as needed. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition (about 30 seconds per egg). Stir in whipping cream and next 3 ingredients. Gently fold butter mixture into flour mixture, in batches, just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake 30 to 32 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely (about 1 hour). Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of chilled Coconut-Almond Filling over cake layer. Top with 1 layer, pressing down gently. Repeat procedure with remaining half of Coconut-Almond Filling and remaining cake layer. Gently spread Coconut-Cream Cheese Frosting on top and sides of cake. Press toasted coconut onto sides of cake; sprinkle toasted almonds on top. Garnish, if desired.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut cake, but this one changed my mind. The almond flavor really balances out the coconut, and the frosting is the perfect finishing touch.

I've made several different coconut almond cream cakes before, but this one is by far the best. It's so moist and flavorful, and the frosting is to die for.
