Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups sifted cake flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coconut oil, at room temperature (or slightly warmer)
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar, divided use
1 (13 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 (7 ounce) bag coconut, divided use (shredded or flaked)
5 egg whites
2 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons sour cream (heaping)
6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla powder

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 (8-inch) cake pans with parchment and coat paper with baking spray; set aside.
  • Mix flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream coconut oil and butter with 1 1/3 cups of sugar. Add flour mixture alternately with coconut milk, beginning and ending with flour; add vanilla and almond extracts.
  • If desired, add 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut to the batter.
  • In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and remaining 2/3 cup sugar to soft peaks. Fold egg white mixture into cake batter, just enough to incorporate.
  • Spoon batter into prepared pans and bake, rotating pans halfway through, 25 to 35 minutes or until cake is springy to the touch. Cool cakes completely.
  • For the frosting: Whip cream and sour cream to soft peaks. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla powder and continue whipping to stiff peaks.
  • Frost cake with whipped cream frosting, spreading a layer of frosting between each layer. Sprinkle remaining shredded coconut on top and sides of cake.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I actually really enjoyed this cake. The whipped cream icing was especially good.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra oil or butter to the batter next time.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less sugar next time.
