Time 2h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box white cake mix
1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons coconut extract
18 drops liquid yellow food coloring
3/4 cup cream cheese frosting (from a 12 ounce tub)
3/4 cup marshmallow creme (Fluff)
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees; you'll need a 10-inch tube pan with removable core and bottom (not nonstick).
  • For cake, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl with mixer on medium until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted.
  • Gradually beat in sugar until incorporated.
  • Continue to beat on high until stiff, shiny peaks form.
  • In second large bowl (no need to wash beaters), beat remaining cake ingredients on medium speed until blended.
  • Continue to beat on high until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Add egg whites to top of batter and fold in with rubber spatula until combined.
  • Scrape batter into ungreased pan; smooth top and tap pan on counter a few times to settle batter.
  • Bake 1 hour or until pick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Invert pan onto its core on countertop and cook cake completely.
  • Loosen cake around sides of pan and core with long thin-bladed knife; lift cake from pan sides by the tube.
  • Cut away cake from pan bottom and invert onto rack, then immediately reinvert cake right side up on a serving plate.
  • Frosting: Fold cream cheese and marshmallow creme together in a medium bowl until blended.
  • Spread evenly over cake.
  • Cover frosting with coconut, gently pressing to adhere.

This cake was a disappointment. The texture was dry and the coconut flavor was overpowering. I followed the recipe exactly but I think I might have overcooked it. I'll try it again with a lower oven temperature.

I've made this cake several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. The coconut flavor is subtle but it really shines through. I love serving this cake with fresh fruit or whipped cream.

This cake was a disaster. The batter was too runny and the cake didn't rise properly. I followed the recipe exactly so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. Other than that, it was a good cake.
