This coconut cake made from scratch is 'bathed' in a mixture of condensed milk and coconut milk, and sprinkled with coconut flakes. It's a popular cake in Brazil and one of my family's favorites! Mine was very yellow on the inside though.

To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook coconut cake using 6 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Coconut Cake:
  1. Get 125 g Butter *cut into small pieces, softened at room temperature
  2. Prepare 3/4 cup Caster Sugar *1/2 cup is quite OK
  3. Get 3 Eggs *at room temperature
  4. Make ready 1 cup Desiccated Coconut
  5. Take 1 cup Self-Raising Flour
  6. Prepare Zest of 1 Lemon

Cake dreams are happening today, lads. We bet you've never tasted anything quite as delicious as this coconut cake. From the tender crumb to the sticky-sweet frosting, this coconut confection is made completely from scratch. Three perfectly moist, almond-and-vanilla-infused cake layers are brushed with a coconut-milk mixture, layered with an incredibly special frosting and sprinkled with toasted coconut flakes for a gorgeous end.

Instructions to make Coconut Cake:
  1. Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease a loaf tin and line the base and sides with baking paper.
  2. Beat the softened Butter in a mixing bowl with a whisk or an electric mixer until smooth. Add Sugar and beat until creamy.
  3. Add Eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. If the Eggs are not warm enough, the mixture will curdle. If that happens, try to stand the bowl in warm water, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds, then continue beating until the batter becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Lemon Zest. Fold in Flour and Desiccated Coconut with a spatula or large metal spoon until just combined. DO NOT over-mix.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and smooth the surface. *Note: I tend to spread the middle part thinner and the edges thicker.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until cooked through. Stand the cake in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool.

It all starts with our best-ever Coconut Cake with Coconut Cream Frosting. The cake layers themselves are quite simple. Solely using cake flour makes this coconut sponge extra tender, and whipped egg whites folded into the batter keep the layers light and fluffy. This is a perfect coconut cake recipe - easy & incredibly tasty. The only basic changes I made were to use a fork instead of a straw to poke the holes, pour the cream/cond milk mixture while the cake is still hot and I made fresh whipped cream.
