Description

This coconut cream cake is light, fluffy, and incredibly moist, perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (shaken)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (toasted)
  • 1 cup whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup cream of coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, coconut milk, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Cool slightly, then poke holes in the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  6. Pour cream of coconut over the warm cake so it seeps into the holes; chill for at least one hour.
  7. Top with whipped topping and toasted coconut before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to shake the coconut milk well before measuring.
  • For best results, let the cake chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
