COCONUT SOUR CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Approximately 8 hours prior to making cake, combine sour cream, thawed coconut and sugar. Refrigerate 8 hours and let flavors blend.
• Mix cake mix, butter, eggs and water per instructions on box and pour batter into two 8" greased baking cake pans. Bake as per instructions and allow to cool. Cut cake layers in half making a total of four layers. (I have found that using dental floss cuts a layer nicely into halves. I also trim the brown off of the outer cake edges.).
• Frost with sour cream mixture and stack layers. Spread cool whip evenly on outer cake edges and on top. Sprinkle top with coconut flakes.
• Keep refrigerated at least one day before cutting cake. Better if you can wait two or three days, but it's very hard to do that!
• Enjoy this very moist cake!

COCONUT SOUR CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Grease and flour two 9 inch pans. Prepare cake mix as directed by manufacturer, adding almond extract. Bake according to instructions on package. When cake is cool, remove from pans and cut in half, horizontally.
• To make the filling, mix together the sour cream and sugar in a medium sized bowl. stir in 1 1/2 cups of the coconut. reserve 1 cup of this mixture and spread the rest between the cooled cake layers. Fold whipped topping into the remaining filling, frost the outside of the cake. Sprinkle the remaining coconut over the top of the frosted cake.
• Refrigerate from 1 to 3 days before serving.

COCONUT SOUR CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to the temperature directed on the cake mix packet. Lightly grease 2 cake tins and dust with flour.
• Prepare the cake mix according to the packet instructions, and then stir in the almond extract.
• Pour the cake batter into the prepared tins and bake the cakes according to the packet instructions.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and leave to cool. Once cooled, cut each cake in half horizontally.
• Combine the sour cream, cream fix and sugar in a bowl, before stirring in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded coconut. Take 1 cup of this mixture and reserve.
• Spread the filling on the cut side of the bottom half of each cake, then refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, before placing the other cake half on top.
• Add the whipped frosting to the reserved filling and gently combine.
• Frost the top and sides of the layered cakes. Scatter the remaining coconut across the tops.
• Refrigerate the cakes for 1-3 hours before serving.

COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease three 9-inch cake pans, line with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper. Parchment paper helps the cakes seamlessly release from the pans.
• Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat in the egg whites until combined, then add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and coconut extract. Beat until combined. Mixture will look curdled as a result of the varying textures and solid butter combining. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients and coconut milk. Beat on low speed until combined, then add the shredded coconut. Whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no butter lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick.
• Pour batter evenly into cake pans. Weigh them to ensure accuracy, if desired. Bake for around 21-23 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's done. Allow cakes to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.
• In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, coconut milk, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and salt with the mixer running on low. Increase to high speed and beat for 3 minutes. Add more confectioners' sugar if frosting is too thin, more coconut milk if frosting is too thick, or an extra pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet.
• Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard (or crumble over ice cream!). Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand, cake turntable, or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with about 1 and 1/2 cups of frosting. Top with 2nd cake layer and evenly cover the top with about 1 and 1/2 cups of frosting. Top with the third cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides. I use and recommend an icing spatula to apply the frosting and bench scraper to smooth the sides. Sprinkle coconut on top of the cake and apply it to the sides. This can get a little messy and you can watch me do it in the video tutorial above. See blog post above about buttercream rose decoration.
• Refrigerate cake for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This helps the cake hold its shape when cutting, though it's still a pretty fluffy cake!
• Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

SOUR CREAM COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• 1. I have successfully revised the original recipe over the years by adding the frosting as the middle filling of this six-layer cake and increasing the amount of frosting considerably. The original recipe suggest using the 1, 2, 3 day approach (day 1: prepare filling; refrigerate/day 2: prepare cake/day 3: assemble cake). While this isn't entirely necessary, it is important to prepare at least the filling one day before baking the cake so the flavors of the coconut, sugar and sour cream can unify.
• 2. Mix sugar, sour cream and coconut together; refrigerate overnight. Next day, bake cake according to package directions in two 8 inch round cake pans. After cake is completely cooled, split layers, making six layers. Reserve 1 ½ cups sour cream, sugar and coconut which will be combined to make the mixture/filling for frosting (see below). Divide remaining mixture/filling generously between all the layers EXCEPT the middle layer when joining the two cakes together. Here is where you will use the frosting and then proceed to use the filling to complete the layering of the cake. Sorry I don't have pictures to explain this better.
• 3. FROSTING for middle layer, top and sides of cake: combine the 1 ½ cup sour cream, sugar and coconut mixture/filling with the Cool Whip. You will use almost the entire 16 ounce container but start by reserving the 1 cup (for another use) as you don't want the frosting to be too soft or fluid. The consistency of the frosting should be a little stiff. You can adjust as needed by adding more or less Cool Whip. The original recipe only called for an 8 oz container (don't think they make the 8 oz size anymore) but I think the added frosting adds to the beauty of the cake.
• 4. This cake MUST be kept in the refrigerator in an air-tight container (e.g. Tupperware). It is BEST if stored in the fridge for THREE days before serving so the cake can soak up the filling and the frosting. It is an extremely moist cake. For the holidays, you can even sprinkle coconut on top. Caution: you will want to serve in smaller portions (16 slices) as it is very rich and you don't want to waste a morsel!
