COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease three 9-inch cake pans, line with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper. Parchment paper helps the cakes seamlessly release from the pans.
• Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat in the egg whites until combined, then add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and coconut extract. Beat until combined. Mixture will look curdled as a result of the varying textures and solid butter combining. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients and coconut milk. Beat on low speed until combined, then add the shredded coconut. Whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no butter lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick.
• Pour batter evenly into cake pans. Weigh them to ensure accuracy, if desired. Bake for around 21-23 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's done. Allow cakes to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.
• In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, coconut milk, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and salt with the mixer running on low. Increase to high speed and beat for 3 minutes. Add more confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin, more coconut milk if frosting is too thick, or an extra pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet.
• Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard (or crumble over ice cream!). Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand, cake turntable, or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with about 1 and 1/2 cups of frosting. Top with 2nd cake layer and evenly cover the top with about 1 and 1/2 cups of frosting. Top with the third cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides. I use and recommend an icing spatula to apply the frosting and bench scraper to smooth the sides. Sprinkle coconut on top of the cake and apply it to the sides. This can get a little messy and you can watch me do it in the video tutorial above. See blog post above about buttercream rose decoration.
• Refrigerate cake for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This helps the cake hold its shape when cutting, though it's still a pretty fluffy cake!
• Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

AMAZING COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• For Cake: Make cake according to package directions and add the coconut extract. Bake in two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans making sure to tap the pan on the counter to even out the batter and bring air bubbles to the surface for even height in baking. when cake is done let cool 10 minutes and remove from pans. When completely cool use a serrated knife and cut each in half to make a total of 4 circles.
• For Coconut filling: put cream and packaged pudding in heavy sauce pan and cook on medium heat stirring constantly till it is thick and starts to bubble. While still hot stir in the butter and coconut. Put it into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and chill over night or for at least 6 hours.
• For syrup: put sugar and water into a sauce pan and bring to a boil stirring occasionally. When all sugar is melted take off of the heat and let cool completely.
• For the icing:.
• beat the butter and cream cheese till creamy. Add in the vanilla and sugar till of a good spreading consistancy. If you choose to use the vanilla bean process it in a blender or small food processor till it is in little bits.
• Toasting the coconut:.
• place the coconut on a baking sheet and place in a 400 degree oven. watch it closely and stir it every so often. take it out when it is golden and let it cool.
• To assemble the cake;.
• place one circle on your cake plate, drizzle or spray the top of the cake with the syrup. You will do this with each layer. You want it just moistened not soaked. Divide your filling into thirds and you will smooth out this filling between three layers of the cake. After you have done this with the three layers you will place the fourth circle on top and ice the cake as usual on top and the sides. Lastly take the toasted coconut and carefully stick it to the sides and top of your cake. If you will not eat the cake right away i suggest placing it in the fridge.
