CHOCOLATE COCONUT CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick spray
One 14-ounce bag sweetened shredded coconut (about 4 cups)
2 teaspoons instant espresso
1 1/4 cups water
One 15.25-ounce box chocolate fudge cake mix, such as Betty Crocker
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
Two 8-ounce blocks Neufchatel cream cheese, at room temperature
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle half of the shredded coconut on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
  • Combine the instant espresso and water in a measuring cup; stir until dissolved. Add to a medium bowl, along with the cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat for 2 minutes with a handheld mixer on medium speed. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a baking rack and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, butter, coconut milk, salt and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer on medium speed until light, fluffy and smooth, about 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining (untoasted) coconut with a rubber spatula.
  • If the cakes have domed in the center, trim to level the tops. Place one cake layer, up-side down, on a platter or plate. Spoon one-third of the frosting on top and spread evenly, almost completely to the edge. Place the other layer, up-side down, on top, pressing gently to anchor. Using an offset spatula, evenly frost the entire cake; if the frosting gets too soft, place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Gently press the toasted coconut around the outside of the cake and sprinkle it over the top.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

DARK GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH TOASTED ALMOND-COCONUT GOO



Dark German Chocolate Cake with Toasted Almond-Coconut Goo image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups flaked or shredded coconut
1 1/4 cups sliced almonds
3 cups sugar
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons best-quality cocoa (recommended: Dutch-process)
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups very hot water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spread the coconut and almonds on separate baking sheets and toast, stirring occasionally, just until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Line the bottom and sides of a 14 by 17-inch baking sheet (with sides) with parchment or waxed paper. Sift together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Transfer to a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or use a hand mixer) and blend briefly.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla extract. Add to the dry ingredients and mix at low speed for 5 minutes. Gradually add the hot water, mixing at low speed just until combined. The batter will be quite thin. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay), 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan.
  • Caramel: Pour the sugar into the center of a deep saucepan. Carefully pour the water around the sugar, trying not to splash any sugar onto the sides of the pan. Do not stir; gently draw your finger through the center of the sugar to moisten it. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil without stirring. Reduce the heat to a fast simmer and cook without stirring until amber-caramel in color, 10 to 20 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat. Using a wooden spoon, slowly and carefully stir in the cream (it will bubble up and may splatter). Stir in the toasted coconut and almonds. Set aside.
  • When ready to serve, cut the room-temperature cake in the pan into 6 even strips, each 3 inches wide. Using diagonal strokes of the knife, cut each strip into 4 triangles. If the sauce has stiffened, rewarm it over low heat (or in a microwave) until softened. Place a triangle on each plate, drizzle with sauce, and rest another triangle on top at a different angle. Drizzle with more sauce and serve.

WALNUT OVERLOAD, DARK CHOCOLATE & COCONUT CAKE



Walnut Overload, Dark Chocolate & Coconut Cake image

A four layer, dark cocoa, walnuts & coconut cake with the smoothest chocolate cream cheese icing you've ever tasted. ------ My wife made this recipe by combining my Italian Cream Cake recipe with the chocolate cake recipe off the back of the Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa can. In addition to cocoa, she added butter and Cool Whip to the frosting... resulting in a uniquely creamy icing. The resulting combo is the best chocolate cake I've ever had. ------ With all the walnuts and coconut, best to use a serrated edge knife to cut it.

Yield 24 slices, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup bertolli extra light tasting olive oil
2 cups sugar
5 large eggs, separated
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup hershey's special dark cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla
10 ounces flaked coconut (about 3 cups)
3 cups walnuts, broken into large pieces
1 cup boiling water
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 lbs powdered sugar (about 5 cups powdered sugar)
2/3 cup hershey's special dark cocoa
6 tablespoons whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup whipped topping
2 1/4 cups chopped walnuts
4 ounces flaked coconut (about 1.5 cups)

Steps:

  • Cake Directions:.
  • Cream butter and oil. Add sugar, beat until mixture is smooth. Add egg yolks and beat.
  • Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda: add to creamed mixture, alternately with buttermilk. Stir in vanilla, coconut, and walnuts.
  • Add 1 cup boiling water ( stir).
  • Then Stiffly beat egg whites in separate bowl and immediately fold into cake batter.
  • Pour batter into four(4) well-greased 9 inch round baking pans and pat chunky mixture to where it is thicker toward the edges of the pans.
  • Bake at 300°F (149°C) until toothpick comes out clean (for around 50-55 minutes).
  • Cream Cheese Icing Directions:.
  • Beat cream cheese until smooth.
  • In separate bowl, combine sugar, very soft butter and vanilla,cocoa, whole milk ; mix well. Add whipping topping mix well.
  • Add to cream cheese and beat until smooth. ( If icing is too soft, add a bit more cocoa and sugar powder. If icing is too hard, add more whipped topping. Be careful when adding whipped topping. ).
  • Cool each layer on cake racks. Put a dollop of icing on a large (12") plate before the first layer. Top each layer first with an ample amount of icing and then sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Frost sides with ample icing and then make a 1 inch icing skirt with remainder. (If icing is too thin to stay on the sided of the layers, cool both cake and icing in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes and try again.) Pat small amounts of the coconut into the sides and a little will naturally fall onto the skirt. Sprinkle the skirt with 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
  • Store in refrigerator. With all the walnuts, it cuts easiest with a bread knife. Enjoy.
