EASY COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 9-inch round cake pans with butter, oil or cooking spray.
• Follow the directions on the cake mix box, substituting milk for water. Divide the batter among the cake pans. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 5 minutes on a wire rack, then remove the cakes from the pans to cool completely.
• Spread filling between the slightly warm cake layers, piercing each layer with a toothpick as you stack them, but don't pierce the top of the top layer. Store the cake in a container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days to allow the flavors to soak through.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, sugar and coconut.
• Make on the day you're serving the cake. In the top of a double boiler, combine the egg whites, sugar, corn syrup or cream of tartar, and salt. Do not place over the heat; instead beat for 1 minute using a handheld electric mixer. Then place over simmering water and cook, beating constantly, until the frosting forms stiff peaks.
• This should take about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the vanilla and beat until it reaches spreading consistency, about 2 minutes. Frost the top and sides of the cake and sprinkle all over with shredded coconut.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites only using the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until the eggs are frothed and hold stiff peaks.
• Transfer the eggs to a separate bowl.
• In the same stand mixer bowl using the beater blade attachment, cream the butter and sugar.
• Add the egg yolks and continue to beat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, salt and baking powder.
• Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk and vanilla extract, beating thoroughly after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Gently fold in the coconut and stiffly beaten egg whites until the egg whites are completely incorporated.
• Grease and flour two 9" round cake pans.
• Divide the batter equally between the two cake pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the center of the cake bounces back when you touch it.
• Cool for 10 minutes then turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter for 1-2 minutes until it is almost white in appearance.
• Add in the coconut extract and mix again.
• Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, alternating with the heavy cream and mixing well as you go. Add in enough heavy cream to get a good spreading or piping consistency.
• Mix in the shredded coconut just until combined.
• Place one cake layer on a cake plate. Frost the top.
• Place the second cake layer on top of the frosted cake.
• Cover the sides and top of the cake with the coconut buttercream.
• Decorate with additional coconut if desired. Be sure to do this before the frosting sets.

• Mix flour and baking powder in a bowl.
• Beat 1 3/4 cups sugar and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately in 3 or 4 batches, beating after each addition on low speed until well combined. Spread batter onto the prepared baking sheet, smoothing out with a spatula.
• Mix coconut flakes with 1/2 cup sugar and sprinkle evenly over the batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately pour heavy cream all over the cake while cake is still hot. Cool completely for about 1 hour, then cut into squares or rectangles.

COCONUT SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-cm) baking pan and line with parchment paper long enough to hang over the 2 long sides.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, combine the butter, coconut oil, and superfine sugar, and beat until light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a separate large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Add the vanilla and coconut extracts to the butter mixture and mix briefly to combine. Then add the egg whites, 1 at a time, mixing until completely combined before adding another.
• Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the coconut milk, starting and finishing with the flour. Fold in the desiccated or shredded coconut.
• Scrape the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake until the cake springs back to a light touch or a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 27 to 35 minutes.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
• In the clean bowl of a stand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth, creamy, and fully combined, about 2 minutes. We can't overstress the importance of using room temperature butter and cream cheese to achieve a smooth consistency-it makes all the difference.
• Reduce the speed, to low, add the confectioners' sugar, salt, and vanilla, and mix until the sugar is incorporated. Increase the speed to medium-high speed and beat until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and then sprinkle with the desiccated or shredded coconut. (This cake will keep for 2 to 3 days but is best eaten within a day of frosting.)

• Once cake completely cooled, add gelatin and water to a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Gelatin should be completely dissolved, stir to combine once more and set aside.
• In a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), beat powdered sugar until it starts to look foamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until soft peaks form.
• Turn your mixer (or beaters) to low and slowly stream in the gelatin mixture. (If your gelatin has harden, microwave again for just a couple of seconds to loosen it.) Turn the beaters back to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Frost cake with whipped cream and top with toasted shredded coconut. Store in the fridge until ready to serve!
