Zubereitung von 1 2 3 4 Coconut Cake
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 2 cups granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour and 2 cups milk, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Grease and flour four 9-inch round cake pans.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If using only two pans, bake in two batches.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Prepare the frosting:** In a 3-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 cup water.
- Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring to a boil without stirring. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook to the soft-ball stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer), approximately 15-20 minutes, until a thin thread forms when you lift the syrup with a spoon. Do not stir during cooking.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Slowly pour the hot syrup into the beaten egg whites in a thin stream while beating constantly with a spoon.
- Continue beating for a few minutes until the mixture begins to cool slightly.
- Stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and 1 teaspoon coconut extract.
- Let the frosting cool for 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. The frosting will be thin.
- Frost the cooled cake layers, starting on the serving platter. Note that the frosting is thin and may drip; continuously reapply any drips until almost all is reabsorbed.
- Garnish with extra fresh coconut, if desired.
