Just look at this magnificent creation! Feast your eyes on this beauty:
Now that we’ve got your attention, let’s dive into the ingredients, because it takes a village (or at least a well-stocked pantry) to make this cake fabulous!
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened – your choice!)
- 1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for frosting)
- Extra coconut for garnish (because we’re fancy like that)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan because we want this cake to slide out like a superstar on a red carpet!
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this little mixture aside while we whip up the magic.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (we’re talking fluffy like a cloud!).
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, toss in the vanilla extract and give it a good stir!
- Now, alternate adding your flour mixture and coconut milk into the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined, then fold in that glorious shredded coconut. This is where the fun happens!
- Pour the mixture into your prepared cake pan and pop it into the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Smell that? It’s the aroma of happiness!
- Let your cake cool in the pan for a bit before transferring it to a wire rack. Meanwhile, whip up the heavy cream and powdered sugar until you get soft peaks. This will be our frosting!
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost it generously and sprinkle some extra coconut on top for that pizzazz!
- Slice, serve, and bask in the joyous laughter of your friends and family as they revel in the deliciousness of your creation!
And there you have it! A Coconut Cake that’s as creamy as your favorite sitcom and just as enjoyable. Your kitchen may end up looking like a coconut bomb went off, but that’s all part of the fun! Bake it, love it, and don’t forget to share the giggles along with the slices!
