Grandma Yearwoods Coconut Cake With Coconut Lemon Glaze Food

COCONUT CLOUD CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes. Gently remove the egg whites from the mixer to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Combine the sugar and butter in the bowl of the mixer and cream together, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and whip an additional 30 seconds to incorporate.
• In another medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder and fine salt. With the mixer on low speed, pour half the coconut milk into the butter and sugar mixture. Turn the mixer off and add half the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Repeat this process with the remaining coconut milk and dry ingredients.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
• For the coconut syrup: Place the coconut water and honey in a microwave-safe container. Microwave until the honey is dissolved, about 1 minute. Poke the surface of the cake with the tines of a fork. Brush the cake with the warm syrup. Sprinkle the flaked coconut evenly over the cake.
• For the frosting: Place the sugar and coconut water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Let boil for 2 minutes before you add it to the egg whites (see below).
• Meanwhile, place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to the lowest setting and slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites. Continue to drizzle until all the syrup has been added. Then, turn the mixer up to high speed and whip until the frosting becomes thick, glossy and holds stiff peaks, about 3 minutes more. The frosting should be used to decorate the cake immediately.
• Scrape the frosting onto the center of the cake in a large mound. Push outward with an offset spatula, spreading the frosting over the surface of the cake and making cloudlike swirls to cover completely.

MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S BUTTERMILK LEMON COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300. Grease and flour 3 9" cake pans. Sift together flour and salt.
• Cream shortening and sugar until fluffy.
• Beat in eggs one at a time until combined.
• Add buttermilk, soda, and flavoring.
• Add flour mixture gradually until combined. This is similar to a pound cake batter.
• Pour into cake pans at bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean.
• For Icing:.
• Cook sugar, milk, coconut, marshmallows over a double boiler until smooth. Note: as it is hard to find unsweeted coconut, I've used sweeted and reduced the sugar to 1/2 Cup. Fold in almond extract. Icing will be fairly runny--it's supposed to seep into the cake and run off the sides. If you want it to be thicker, add more marshmallows.
• Ice layers and top of cake while still hot. I poke holes in the layers with a toothpick so that the icing seeps down into the cake.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight. No cheating! You MUST serve it after it's been refrigerated, and serve it cold - it's best that way.
• Enjoy!

AWESOME COCONUT CAKE WITH GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Toast Coconut:.
• Start by spreading coconut on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave the coconut in 30-second bursts, gently stirring to redistribute each time. When the coconut is as brown as you like - stop. It's done. It took me 7 1/2 minutes to get to this point, but depends on the wattage of your microwave.
• Cake:.
• Beat together sugar, oil, eggs, and coconut extract until well mixed.
• In a separate bowl, mix together buttermilk, baking powder, and baking soda.
• Beat together the buttermilk mixture into the sugar, oil, and egg mixture until well blended.
• Gradually beat the flour mixture into the wet mixture until well mixed.
• Fold in the coconut and almonds.
• Pour into a greased baking pan and bake for about 30-45 minutes or when a toothpick is inserted into the center comes out clean. (I used a greased bundt pan).
• Combine drizzle ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until all the ingredients are incorporated.
• Once the bread comes out of the oven, poke holes all over the bread and immediately pour drizzle over the bread and let soak inches.
• Once the cake has cooled, pour on the glaze and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
