JEAN'S COCONUT CAKE
My Aunt Joyce used to make the most amazing Coconut Cakes....I've never tasted one that compared to hers. I make one every so often in search of one that is as good and found this recipe on www.newitalianrecipes.com. It's still not Aunt Joyce's, but it's almost as good! I found that with each day that passed after making it, it got better and better (I kept it in the fridge!!), so next time I'll definitely plan on making it one or two days ahead of time. ** I "guesstimated" the time it takes to make this, since I didn't really time myself. I actually made the filling one evening, stuck it in the fridge and made the rest of the recipe the next day. My "guesstimate" includes a 2 hour chilling time for the filling.

Steps:
- Prepare the filling:.
- Place the heavy cream, sugar, and coconut cream in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
- Stir the cornstarch and the milk together in a small bowl until there are no lumps.
- Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering cream until it's smooth; cook, stirring, for 3 minutes longer.
- Add the butter and shredded coconut and continue cooking, stirring, for 3 more minutes.
- Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until thickened, about 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease three 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with waxed paper.
- Grease the paper and then flour the pans lightly, tapping out any excess.
- Prepare the cake:.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Reserve.
- Place the sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 1 minute.
- Gradually add the butter, vanilla, and milk and continue beating for 2 minutes.
- Add the reserved dry ingredients and beat for 1 minute.
- Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in the pans on a rack for 20 minutes. Un-mold the cakes, carefully peeling off the waxed paper and allow them to cool completely on the rack.
- Jean punches holes in the cake when it's still warm so the icing cane seep into the interior. It's not necessary to do this for an incredible coconut cake, but it does add sweetness and moistness to the cake part itself.
- Prepare the icing:.
- Place the cream cheese and the butter in a bowl and beat with a mixer until creamy. Add the remaining icing ingredients; beat until smooth and soft.
- Prepare the syrup:.
- Place the sugar, water and vanilla in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally
- Remove from heat and brush the top of each cake layer with the syrup using a pastry brush. (You don't have to use all the syrup).
- Assemble the cake:.
- Place one cake layer on a serving platter.
- Spread it with half of the reserved filling and top with another layer of cake.
- Spread the cake with the remaining filling and top with the last cake layer. Ice the top and sides of the cake with the icing and then sprinkle the top with ½ cup shredded coconut.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans, then line them parchment paper. Grease them again and dust lightly with flour
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. Crack the eggs into a small bowl. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl once during mixing. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix well. The mixture might look curdled; don’t be concerned.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the batter in three parts, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the 4 ounces of coconut with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter evenly into the 2 pans and smooth the top with a knife. Bake in the center of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes, until the tops are browned and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool on a baking rack for 30 minutes, then turn the cakes out onto a baking rack to finish cooling.
