COCONUT CAKE MADE WITH COCONUT MILK RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, eggs, oil, water and coconut flavoring. Beat for 2 minutes and pour into 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
• In a medium bowl, combine coconut cream with sweetened condensed milk and stir until smooth. When cake comes out of the oven, poke holes into it in even rows using a large fork or chopsticks. Pour milk mixture over, allowing it to soak into the cake. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• In a large bowl, whisk cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue whipping until stiff. Spread over cooled cake. Sprinkle top with flaked coconut.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease bottoms and sides of 2 (8-inch) round cake pans with shortening. Line pans with cooking parchment paper; grease paper, and lightly flour.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, butter, coconut milk, water and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour batter evenly into pans.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans to cooling racks; remove cooking parchment paper. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• In medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of the coconut, the sugar and sour cream. Spoon 1 cup of the mixture into large bowl; set aside.
• Cut each cake horizontally into 2 layers. Spread 1/2 cup of the remaining coconut-sour cream mixture on cut side of 1 layer. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining layer, cut side down.
• In bowl of reserved coconut-sour cream mixture, stir in whipped topping, 1/2 cup of the coconut and the coconut extract until well mixed. Frost top and side of cake with mixture. Gently press remaining coconut onto top and side of cake. Cover; refrigerate at least 6 hours before serving.
