How to Make Simple Coconut Cake
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake tin. Alternatively, line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the shredded coconut and coconut milk until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite glaze. A simple orange glaze is delicious (see recipe suggestion below):
- * Orange Glaze Suggestion: Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 1 teaspoon orange zest until smooth. Adjust consistency with more juice if needed.
- Slice and enjoy your incredibly moist and flavorful coconut cake!
