Gluten Free Coconut Cream Chocolate Cake Food

GLUTEN FREE COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Boil the water in the sauce pan with ½ cup of sugar for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• In your stand mixer blend the remaining cup of sugar with the butter and melted coconut oil.
• Add the milk, and add the cooled water and sugar mixture. (The mixer should be going the entire time).
• With the mixer on low speed add the eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, cocoa powder and gluten free all-purpose flour.
• Beat on medium for about 5 minutes or until your batter has almost a pudding like consistency.
• Add the coconut extract and mix on low for one minute.
• Pour into your greased pans. I use coconut oil to grease the pan. 6 inch rounds cook about 25 minutes and 8 inch rounds cook 25-30 minutes. Check after 20 minutes in case your oven runs hot. Test with toothpick. Enjoy!

GLUTEN-FREE COCONUT LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Make frosting
• Chill bowl of stand mixer and whisk attachment or large metal bowl and beaters for at least 15 minutes.
• In small saucepan over moderate heat, bring 1 cup cream to simmer. Transfer white chocolate to medium heatproof bowl, pour hot cream over, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in rum and salt. Let cool at room temperature until thickened slightly, about 1 hour.
• In chilled bowl of electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat remaining 2 cups cream at moderately high speed until whisk leaves marks but cream does not quite hold soft peaks, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn mixer off, then add white chocolate mixture and beat just until stiff peaks begin to form, about 5 minutes. (Do not overbeat, or cream will curdle.) Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours. (Frosting can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 8 hours.)
• While frosting is chilling, make cake
• Preheat oven to 350F. Line bottoms of cake pans with parchment paper.
• In large bowl, whisk together almond and coconut flours.
• In bowl of electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks at high speed until pale yellow and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to moderately low and beat in rum and all but 1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar. Scrape down bowl, then increase speed to high and beat until pale and thick, about 1 minute. Reduce speed to low and gradually add almond and coconut flour mixture, scraping down bowl and folding in last of flour by hand. Set aside.
• In clean dry bowl of electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat egg whites on moderate speed until very foamy, about 1 minute. Beat in cream of tartar, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar. Increase speed to moderately high and beat until whites hold stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. Fold 1 cup beaten egg whites into yolk mixture to lighten, then gently fold in remaining whites. Divide batter between pans, smoothing tops, and bake until layers are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Invert pans onto wire racks and cool completely, at least 1 hour. Run knife around cake layers to loosen, invert onto rack, and peel off the parchment.
• Assemble cake
• Layer cake, using 1 cup frosting between each layer, then frost top and sides with remaining frosting. Press coconut flakes onto the frosting. Refrigerate until frosting is firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.

• Since this was truly a no-frills chocolate cake, I made a simple frosting. Feel free to substitute your favorite frosting. This one is not very sweet, but my toddler loved it.
• 5 oz. semi-sweet chocolate.
• 1/2 cup sour cream.
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
• 1-2 Tablespoons whipping cream.
• Directions: Melt chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Let the chocolate cool until warm. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Add whipping cream to desired consistency. The frosting will thicken slightly as it cools. Once the cake has cooled, frost the cake. This frosting provided a simple, thin layer of frosting for my no-frills chocolate cake.
