Time 4h50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 (5.4 ounce) can cream of coconut
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups sweetened shredded coconut (8 ounces)
Chocolate Sauce for Coconut Crunch Cake, for serving

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch springform pan. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, stir cream of coconut and vanilla.
  • Beat butter and coconut oil on medium-high until smooth. Slowly add sugar; beat until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium; add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each and scraping down bowl as needed. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with 2 batches of cream-of-coconut mixture. Beat until just combined.
  • Topping: Whisk egg whites and salt with a mixer until thick and frothy, about 1 minute. Stir in milk and vanilla. Fold in coconut.
  • Spread batter in pan. Dollop topping over batter; carefully spread in an even layer. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs, about 1 hour (tent with foil if browning too quickly). Let cool completely; remove from pan. Cut into wedges, drizzle with sauce, and serve with extra sauce on the side.

Provided by Julie Clark

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup salted butter ((softened))
4 large eggs ((at room temperature))
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup shredded coconut
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter ((melted))
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
3-4 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
  • Whisk together the cake flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • In another bowl, cream the butter until it is creamy and almost white in appearance.
  • Add in the sugar. Beat an additional 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing in each egg completely before adding in another.
  • Mix in the sour cream and extracts.
  • Add the flour alternately with the buttermilk, mixing gently (or on low speed) just until combined. Do not overmix or the cake will not be soft.
  • Grease with shortening and dust with flour a 12 cup bundt cake pan (or use our cake release).
  • Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar into the bottom of the pan. Shake the pan slightly so the sugar coats the sides of the pan as well as the bottom.
  • Sprinkle shredded coconut evenly in the bottom of the pan.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and use a spatula to make sure is is even.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool for just 5 minutes in the pan, then loosen the edges and turn it out onto a cake plate to cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, and extracts.
  • Add heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until it is the consistency you'd like.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. If the cake still warm, the glaze will melt and run thin. It's a matter of preference as far as how you want it to look.
  • Note: This makes a lot of glaze. If you'd like less glaze, make 1/2 a recipe. This will save calories as well.
