Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans, then line them parchment paper. Grease them again and dust lightly with flour.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. Crack the eggs into a small bowl. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl once during mixing. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix well. The mixture might look curdled; don't be concerned.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the batter in 3 parts, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the 4 ounces of coconut with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter evenly into the 2 pans and smooth the top with a knife. Bake in the center of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes, until the tops are browned and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool on a baking rack for 30 minutes, then turn the cakes out onto a baking rack to finish cooling.
- For the frosting, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and almond extract on low speed. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix until just smooth (don't whip!).
- To assemble, place 1 layer on a flat serving plate, top side down, and spread with frosting. Place the second layer on top, top side up, and frost the top and sides. To decorate the cake, sprinkle the top with coconut and lightly press more coconut onto the sides. Serve at room temperature.
COCONUT BIRTHDAY CAKE
Last year I had a request for coconut cake from a very special person for a very special birthday. So, as I always do, I researched countless recipes, read reviews and piled up the cookbooks to come up with a special layer cake with a coconut-y cake, custard filling and, as requested, a non-cream cheese frosting. Lucky for me the cake turned out great. The cake itself was moist, but with a sturdy crumb. The custard filling is creamy with just a hint of tang from the sour cream. And, the 'cooked' vanilla butter cream is lovely without being sticky sweet or tasting like a stick of butter. It's taken me eight months and another request from a very good friend for her birthday to write the recipe down, so here it is. I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as our family.

Steps:
- I would recommend starting this cake a day or so in advance of serving so that you can allow the assembled cake at least 24hrs to meld in the refrigerator before serving.
- For the Cake:.
- Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat to 325 degrees. Grease and flour (2) 9" cake pans.
- Whisk the egg whites and egg in a bowl to combine. Add the cream of coconut, water, vanilla, and coconut extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on the lowest speed to combine, about 30 seconds.
- With the mixer still running, add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Then with the mixer still running, add 1 cup of the liquid. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, about 45 seconds. Add the remaining liquid in a steady stream until combined.
- Divide the batter between the two cake pans and level the pans with a spatula.
- Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- Cool in the pans on wire racks for about 10 minutes, then loosen the cakes from the pans and place top sides up on a cooling rack and cool to room temperature.
- For the Filling:.
- Stir the cornstarch, water, and vanilla in small bowl to dissolve the cornstarch.
- Bring the cream, sugar, and butter just to a boil in a heavy medium saucepan. Add cornstarch mixture and bring back to a boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in coconut. Cool completely.
- Mix in the sour cream. Cover and refrigerate.
- For the Frosting:.
- In a large bowl, combine the egg whites and the sugar and whisk until well blended. Set the bowl on top of a double boiler, or transfer mixture to the top pan of a double boiler and whisk constantly until the mixture is hot to the touch and the sugar is thoroughly melted.
- Transfer to the egg and sugar mixture to a stand mixer and beat on High with the whisk attachment until the bowl has cooled to the touch and the meringue forms stiff peaks.
- While beating on medium speed, slowly add the room temperature butter, about 1/4 cup at a time until thick and creamy. Add the vanilla and blend until combined.
- The frosting can be made in advance and refrigerated until ready to use.
- For the coconut topping:.
- Spread out on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven until light golden brown. Allow to cool thoroughly.
- To assemble the cake:.
- Using a knife, dental floss (the non-mint kind) or a cake wire, slice each cake into two layers so that you have 4 layers of cake.
- Put a dab of frosting on your cake plate so that the bottom layer does not move around.
- Place one of the cake bottoms on the cake plate and use the butter cream to create a 'lip' around the edge of the cake. This will prevent any filling from oozing over the edge of the cake when you put the layers together.
- Spoon one-third of the filling onto the cake and spread evenly.
- Continue with the remaining layers, finishing with a cake top for the top layer.
- Frost with the vanilla buttercream and don't worry if it isn't perfecly smooth since you're going to be pressing coconut on top.
- Next, press the toasted coconut onto the sides and top and refridgerate at least 24hrs before you serve the cake.

Steps:
- For the carrot-coconut birthday cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray three 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and lightly coat them with coconut flour.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the coconut oil, coconut sugar, honey and eggs until creamy. (Don't worry if the mixture looks broken; the batter will become smooth as you add more ingredients.)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ground ginger and baking powder. Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until evenly incorporated. On low speed, mix in the coconut milk until combined and then gradually add the remaining half of the dry ingredients. Turn the machine off and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated. Fold in the carrots and applesauce. Divide the batter among the prepared cake pans.
- Bake until the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the pans and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
- Run a paring knife around the edge of the pans and then invert the cakes onto 2 racks. Let cool completely. (Do not move the cakes around too much; they are delicate.)
- For the coconut cream cheese frosting: In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream cheese, honey, powdered sugar and coconut cream on high speed until fluffy and evenly incorporated.
- To assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on a 10-inch (or larger) cake stand. Scoop a quarter of the frosting on top and spread it to the edges. Stack another cake layer on top and spread with another quarter of the frosting. Stack the third cake layer and spread a third quarter of the frosting around the entire cake to serve as a crumb coat.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before frosting the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Sprinkle the coconut flakes over the top.
CLASSIC COCONUT CAKE
Room temperature ingredients make all the difference in this cake. You can get more loft from non-chilled egg whites, and room-temperature butter is easier to cream (beat together) with sugar than the straight- from-the-fridge stuff. The fluffy egg whites and properly creamed butter and sugar mean tender, light cake. And room-temp butter and cream cheese will translate to creamy, smooth frosting instead of a sticky mess filled with lumps.

Steps:
- Cook's Note: To open a coconut: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the coconut onto a folded towel set down in a large bowl. Find the 3 eyes on 1 end of the coconut and using a nail or screwdriver and hammer or meat mallet, hammer holes into 2 of the eyes. Turn the coconut upside down over a container and drain the water from the coconut. Store the water in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Place the coconut onto a 1/2 sheet pan and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven. The coconut should have cracked in several places. Using an oyster knife or other dull blade, separate the hard shell from the brown husk. Using a serrated vegetable peeler, peel the brown husk from the coconut meat. Rinse the coconut meat under cool water and pat dry. Break the meat into 2 to 3-inch pieces. With the grater disk attached to a food processor, grate the coconut.
- For the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly oil 2 (9-inch) cake pans.
- Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper.
- Oil the parchment paper and then flour the pan.
- Set aside.
- Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Combine the coconut milk and coconut cream in small bowl and set aside.
- Place the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer and using the paddle attachment, cream on medium speed until fluffy, approximately 1 minute. Decrease the speed to low and gradually add the sugar slowly over 1 to 2 minutes.
- Once all of the sugar has been added, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides.
- Turn the mixer back on to medium speed and continue creaming until the mixture noticeably lightens in texture and increases slightly in volume, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the coconut extract.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixture to the butter and sugar in 3 batches, ending with the milk mixture. Do not over mix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the batter, just until combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bang the pans on the counter top several times to remove any air and to distribute the batter evenly in the pan.
- Place in the oven on the middle rack.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until the cake is light golden in color and reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees F.
- Cool the cake in the pans for 10 minutes then remove and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Once the cakes have cooled completely cut across the equator of each to form 4 layers.
- Place the 1/3 cup coconut water into a small spritz bottle and spray evenly onto the cut side of the 4 layers.
- If you do not have a spritz bottle you may brush the coconut water on with a silicone pastry brush.
- Allow to sit while preparing the frosting.
- Frosting:
- Bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium to maintain a steady simmer.
- In the meantime, place the egg whites, sugar, coconut water cream of tartar and salt into a medium size-mixing bowl.
- Place the bowl over the simmering water and immediately begin beating with an electric hand mixer set to low speed.
- Beat for 1 minute and then increase the speed to high and continue to beat for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and beat in the coconut and vanilla extracts for 1 minute.
- Allow the frosting to sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Place approximately 3/4 cup of the frosting on the first layer of cake, sprinkle with 1/2 cup coconut and top with the next layer.
- Repeat until you reach the top layer.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake and sprinkle with the remaining coconut.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
