COCONUT CAKE
We bet you've never tasted anything quite as delicious as this coconut cake. From the tender crumb to the sticky-sweet frosting, this coconut confection is made completely from scratch. Three perfectly moist, almond-and-vanilla-infused cake layers are brushed with a coconut-milk mixture, layered with an incredibly special frosting and sprinkled with toasted coconut flakes for a gorgeous end result. Don't be intimidated by the boiled frosting-just when you think it's not working, the smooth, luscious mixture will come together and you soon understand why it's worth the effort. Ready to make the coconut cake of your dreams?

- To avoid using oil, I usually using coconut cream to grease the insides of my pans, so I always have a container of coconut cream in my fridge (it does last a while in there but I do a lot of baking for the blog). You can use oil spray or shortening if you don’t have coconut cream. I also trace the bottom of my pan onto parchment paper and cut out the circles and place them at the bottom of my pans to help ensure an easy cake release. Set your prepared pans aside.
- Next, mix your wet ingredients at the bottom of a large mixing bowl. Once well combined, sprinkle in your flour and then other dry ingredients (except coconut flakes / shreds) on top.
- Use your spatula to gently mix together the ingredients, pressing the spatula against the sides of the bowl to scrape everything inward as you mix, being careful not to over-mix (this can cause your cake to not rise properly or deflate). When the batter looks ALMOST combined--OK to have a little flour still showing--add your coconut flakes / shreds and gently fold them in. The batter will finish combining as you do this.
