Number Of Ingredients 20

1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 (5.4 ounce) can cream of coconut
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups sweetened shredded coconut (8 ounces)
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch springform pan. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, stir together cream of coconut and vanilla.
  • Beat butter and coconut oil on medium-high until smooth. Slowly add sugar; beat until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with 2 batches of cream-of-coconut mixture. Beat until just combined.
  • Topping: In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites and salt until thick and frothy, about 1 minute. Stir in milk and vanilla. Fold in coconut.
  • Spread cake batter in pan. Pour topping over batter; carefully spread in an even layer. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs, about 1 hour (tent with foil if browning too quickly).
  • Chocolate Sauce: In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream and sugar almost to a boil, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Pour over chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Stir until smooth, then stir in vanilla.
  • Let cake cool completely; remove from pan. Cut into wedges, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and serve with extra sauce on the side.
