How to Make Malibu Rum Coconut Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon orange extract.
- Gradually add ½ cup Malibu coconut rum and ½ cup sour cream, mixing until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup heavy whipping cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined after each addition.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the icing:
- In a small saucepan, melt together ¼ cup butter and ¼ cup milk over low heat.
- Stir in ¼ cup Malibu coconut rum and 2 cups powdered sugar.
- Whisk until smooth and thick enough to pour. Add more powdered sugar or hot water as needed to adjust consistency.
- Stir in ½ cup flaked coconut.
- Once the cake is completely cool, place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Pour the icing over the cake, spreading evenly with an offset spatula.
- Sprinkle with extra flaked coconut for garnish.
