Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be quite thin, but that’s what makes it moist!
- Fold in the shredded coconut gently until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or a creamy coconut frosting for an extra twist!
Your Chocolate Coconut Cake is now ready to be served! Each slice will be a delicious blend of moist cake and the delightful chewiness of coconut. It’s perfect for sharing, though you might want to keep it all to yourself!
