COCONUT LEMON CAKE
This is the best cake I have ever had. I fixed it for Thanksgiving last year when I went to a neighbors house for the day. I am going to her house Easter tomorrow and she asked me to make it again. I guess it was a hit. It came from Southern Living Magazine October 2007

LEMON COCONUT ROULADE
I love this filling because it's a great lemon curd recipe that even made even better by lightening it. This is a perfect lunch dessert or for a baby or bridal shower. Mom would love this on her birthday too. At least mine would have. The cake is a classic French Biscuit au Beurre, drizzling in the clarified butter at the end for a unique delicious flavor. You can candy your own edible flowers rather than buying them if you like. Johnny Jump Ups, pansies, and rose petals are nice.

Steps:
- Make the Lemon Curd: Pour enough water into a saucepan to reach a depth of 2 inches and bring to a boil.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the eggs and sugar together until very light yellow and fluffy. Mix in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Rest the mixing bowl on the saucepan, with the bowl's base resting above ¿ not in ¿ the simmering water (pour out some water, if necessary). Cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and custard-y, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, half fill a large bowl with ice and cover with cold water. Remove the bowl of lemon curd from the hot water and whisk in the butter until melted. Rest the bottom of the bowl in the ice bath and let cool, folding the mixture occasionally to cool and thicken it.
- In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the cream until stiff. Fold it into the cooled lemon custard. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (The recipe can be made to this point and kept refrigerated up to 3 days in advance.)
- Make the Cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter the jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper. Butter the paper to assure release. Have some water simmering in a saucepan. Place the eggs, yolk, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of a standing mixer (don't attach it to the mixer yet) and whisk briefly. Set the bowl over the simmering water and stir the mixture until warm and sugar looks dissolved. Attach the bowl to the mixer and whip until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sift together the flour and baking powder 3 times. Sift it over the whipped egg mixture while folding it in; then fold in the coconut. Drizzle in the clarified butter, while folding the batter.
- Immediately pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until lightly browned and starting to pull away from the edges of the pan, about 14 to 16 minutes. Let the cake rest in the pan 1 minute. Run a knife along the edge to release the cake; then flip it out onto a tea towel or parchment paper. Brush the paper lining with water and let soak 2 minutes before peeling it off the cake. Trim dry edges from the cake. Roll the cake up tightly with the towel, rolling away from you; then cool seam-side down on a rack. Carefully unroll the cake and spread it with a thin layer of jam, followed by the lemon curd filling, leaving 1/2 inch empty at the far edge. Tightly re-roll the cake and place on a platter seam-side down. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
- Whip the remaining 1/2 cup cream with the sugar until very stiff. Keep chilled. Using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, pipe the whipped cream into rosettes down the center of the roulade. Place a candied violet on each rosette. Serve in 1-inch thick slices.
LEMON-FILLED COCONUT CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 24 (2 1/2-inch) muffin cups with paper liners; set aside.
- Spread 1 cup coconut on a baking sheet. Toast for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, coconut milk, oil, and yellow food coloring; beat with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds. Scrape down the side of bowl. Beat on medium for 2 minutes more. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from muffin cups and cool completely on wire rack.
- For lemon filling:
- In a medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup whipped cream frosting and the lemon curd until combined.
- With a sharp knife, make a 1/2-inch slit in the top center of each cooled cupcake. Place lemon filling in a disposable piping bag; snip a small end off one corner of the bag, and pipe filling into cupcakes.
- In a medium bowl, stir the coconut extract into the remaining whipped cream frosting and frost the cupcakes.
- Toss together the toasted coconut and the remaining 1/2 cup untoasted coconut. Sprinkle the coconut mixture over the frosted cupcakes.

COCONUT LAYER CAKE WITH LEMON FILLING AND MARSHMALLOW-LIKE FROST
I LOVE this recipe so much.. make it for a party or birthday when you want to WOW your guests. I hope that you enjoy making this, I know I did!! Not a beginner recipe but a great one to have your kids assist you with the filling or frosting! Originally found in "The Summer Book" by Susan Branch. Make sure you have a double boiler for the filling and a candy thermometer for the frosting! NOTE: I made four 8" layer cakes by doubling the recipe, rather than using one batch to make three 8" layer cakes. Be generous!

Steps:
- To Make The Cake:.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- If you have only one mixing bowl, start by stiffly beating the egg whites and set aside, (keeping in mind that they will not hold forever).
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Add egg tolks and beat until thick and lemon colored.
- With a fork, mix together dry ingredients.
- Add dry ingredients alternately with the milk.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.
- Divide batter between 3 buttered 8" cake pans (or 2 pans and make another batch of the recipe while the first is baking).
- Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
- Cool completely and remove from pans.
- Freeze if time permits.
- Before filling and frosting, cut off rough edges of cake with sharp scissors.
- To Make The Lemon Filling:.
- When grating rind take special care to not get the bitter white part.
- Put all ingredients in a double boiler.
- Stir over simmering water until thickened (approximately 15-20 minutes).
- Chill.
- To Make The Marshmallow-Like Frosting:.
- Stir the water, sugar, cream of tartar and salt together in a small heavy-bottomed pan.
- Hook a candy thermometer to the edge of the pan and boil without stirring until the mixture reaches 240°F.
- Meanwhile, beat egg whites until stiff.
- Pour the 240° syrup over the egg whites in a thin stream, beating constantly until thick and glossy.
- To Assemble: Remove cake layers from freezer.
- Spread the chilled filling between the layers, trying to not let much of it get out the sides.
- Frost the cake with the marshmallow-like frosting and sprinkle coconut on thickly, gently pressing it into the sides.
- If the cake slips around, gently slide it back straight.
- Decorate top with a flower or group of leaves. I use three strawberry leaves and a flower set in the center.
