COCONUT & LIME CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. Grate the 200g block of creamed coconut and keep half of it aside. Then in a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients (including half of the grated block of creamed coconut) together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
• Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon, then bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
• For the frosting, mix together the remaining creamed coconut, zest and juice of 2 limes. Microwave on High for 30 secs until the coconut melts.
• Make the buttercream by beating the butter until smooth and creamy and gradually beating in icing sugar . Then beat in the cooled coconut mix and 2-3 tbsp Malibu (optional) until it becomes marshmallowy.
• Fill the cooled sponges with a third of the frosting, cover the sides and top with the rest and coat the sides with the toasted desiccated coconut. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.

COCONUT-KEY LIME SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Make the Coconut-Key Lime Cake:
• Position rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Spread coconut in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown and aromatic, 3-5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, coat a 13x9" pan with nonstick spray. Dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
• Whisk toasted coconut, baking powder, salt, and 1 3/4 cups flour in a medium bowl. Mix coconut oil, vanilla, and 2/3 cup coconut milk in another medium bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium speed, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, until pale and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to blend after each addition. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with coconut milk mixture in 2 additions, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with a spatula.
• Bake cake until top is set and golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes.
• Mix key lime zest, juice, and remaining 2/3 cup coconut milk in a small bowl (it's okay if mixture separates slightly; it will be absorbed by cake). Using a skewer, poke holes every 2" into warm cake. Slowly pour key lime zest mixture over cake. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool completely.
• Make the Coconut-Key Lime Curd:
• Pour water into a medium pot to a depth of 2". Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place butter in a large bowl.
• Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof medium bowl. Whisk in key lime zest and juice. Set bowl on saucepan, making sure bottom does not touch water. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and an instant-read thermometer registers 175°F, 3-4 minutes.
• Strain egg yolk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve over butter, then stir with a rubber spatula until smooth. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on key lime curd and chill at least 30 minutes.
• Make the Whipped Cream Topping:
• Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in chilled key lime curd and key lime zest. Spread cream on cooled cake with a spatula, then chill 30 minutes to set cream.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut flakes in a single layer on rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing halfway through, until crispy and golden, 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over cake.
• Do Ahead
• Lime curd can be made 1 week ahead. Store in an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 4 months.

COCONUT-LIME TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Beat the egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. With the mixer still on, slowly add 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Continue until shiny medium-stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Remove the egg whites to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Add the egg yolks and remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar to the same bowl of the stand mixer with the same whisk attachment (no need to wash). Beat on medium speed until pale yellow and doubled in volume, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the milk and vanilla, then the lime zest and coconut, beating constantly.

Using a round metal skewer or a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake, but don't go all the way down to the bottom (this will help the cake absorb the milk!). Pour the milk all over the cake very slowly and a little at a time (this will help distribute the milk throughout the cake). When all of the milk has been poured into the cake and absorbed, cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, preferably overnight.
• For the topping: Combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Dollop, then spread over the top of the cake. Sprinkle with the coconut, then then the lime zest. Cut into 15 rectangles. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.
