One popular variation of coconut cake is coconut poke cake. While traditional coconut cake is round and multi-layered, coconut poke cake is either a white or yellow cake that is rectangular and single-layered<\/p>\n
Cake:<\/b>
\n2 cups sugar
\n3\u00bc cups flour
\n2\u00bd tsp. baking powder
\n1 tsp. salt
\n1\u00bd sticks melted, unsalted butter
\n1\u00bc cups coconut milk
\n4 eggs<\/p>\n
Frosting<\/b>:
\n2 sticks unsalted butter
\n1 box (3\u00bd cups) powdered sugar
\n\u00bc cup coconut milk
\n1 bag sweetened shredded coconut<\/p>\n
Instructions<\/b>:
\nStir the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the melted butter. Stir until it looks pebble-y. Whisk eggs and coconut milk. Add one-third of the liquid to the dry ingredients. Stir until pasty. Repeat this step two more times; this avoids lumps in the batter.<\/p>\n
Divide the batter between two greased and floured 8-inch cake pans. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove cake from oven and de-pan.<\/p>\n
Make the frosting. I use a mixer with a paddle. Cream the butter. When it\u2019s white and fluffy, add the powdered sugar. Finally, add the coconut milk. Whip for 3 to 4 minutes.<\/p>\n
Shave the dome off the cake layers with a long, serrated knife. Spread frosting on the top of the bottom layer, sprinkle with coconut and smear some frosting on the bottom of the top layer before sandwiching together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
