Comment préparer Luscious Coconut Cake
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour four 9-inch round cake pans.
- Cake: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix well.
- Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and almond extract; mix until just combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the shredded coconut.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Coconut Filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour, milk, and eggs.
- Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a bubbly boil (about 15 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the coconut and vanilla extract. Let cool completely.
- Once the cakes and filling are cool, frost the top of one cake layer with a generous amount of the coconut filling. Top with another cake layer and repeat until all layers are used.
- Whipped Cream Frosting: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream frosting. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes.
- OR
- Coconut Milk Frosting: In a large bowl, beat together the butter, salt, vanilla, and almond extract until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and coconut milk alternately, beating until smooth and creamy.
