Dreamy Toasted Coconut Bundt Cake Food

DREAMY TOASTED COCONUT BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• In a large bowl or stand-mixer beat sugar, butter, and oil until blended. Beat in egg yolks one at a time. Beat in extracts.
• In a separate medium-sized bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix with a fork and add to creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk beating well after each addition. Stir in the coconut. I use 1 and a half cups of coconut, but you can use more or less depending on your taste.
• In a medium bowl, add the egg whites and the cream of tartar. Using your hand mixer, beat them on high for 3-5 minutes or until whites are stiff and can form peaks.
• Fold in ⅓ of the egg whites to the cake mixture. Fold in another third and then the last third.
• Spray your bundt pan with cooking spray, and pour cake batter into the pan. Be careful not to fill more than ¾ full.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Cake is done when toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
• Carefully run a butter knife along the edge of the pan and the center part of the pan. (This will make it easier to get cake out later.)
• Let cake cool completely and then run a butter knife around the edges again and sort of lift up when the knife is all the way to the bottom. This will help make sure the cake is coming away from pan and will come out nicely.
• Turn the cake out onto a nice plate or whatever you want to serve it on.
• Make the frosting by using a handmixer or mixer to cream together the butter, powdered sugar, coconut extract, vanilla extract and heavy cream (start by adding 2 tbsp of cream and gradually a little more at a time if needed up to 4 tbsp total) you will most likely only need 2-3 tbsp of heavy cream.
• Frost the cake. I like to put dollops on the top of the cake and then gently spread it down with the back of a spoon.
• When the cake is frosted, sprinkle it with toasted coconut. I hold it over a large dish so I can push the coconut onto the sides, and the excess will fall into the dish and be able to be used again.
• Serve and Enjoy!

COCONUT BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Generously butter 12-cup Bundt pan; dust pan with flour. This is important because all that coconut can get sticky even in a non stick pan. I use Baker's Secret & then flour after getting some sticking. If it sticks it still tastes great & isn't really noticable if served in slices w/ice cream.
• Stir 3 cups cake flour and salt in medium bowl to blend.
• Beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups sugar, beating until well blended. This is important and I set a timer for 2 minutes - longer than you think! Beat in eggs 1 at a time, then both extracts. Beat in flour mixture in 4 additions alternately with 1 cup coconut milk in 3 additions. Fold in toasted flaked and thawed grated coconut. Transfer batter to prepared pan; rap smartly on counter to force out air bubbles and even batter (and scare the cat and dogs in the kitchen).
• Bake cake until top is golden brown and tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Be sure to have a drip catcher in the oven beneath the bundt pan to catch overflow if needed.
• Cool cake in pan 5- 10 minutes but trim any overhang while hot or it will harden and hold the cake in as it cools. (yum, trimmings) Turn cake out onto rack; cool completely. Try not to pick off bits -- .
