Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan.
- Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time; stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Mix in the coconut milk until batter is smooth. Scrape into the prepared pan and smooth the top flat.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back when lightly touched, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine crushed pineapple, juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Whisk until cornstarch is smooth. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until filling has thickened and just barely starts to boil. Remove and set aside to cool.
- Cream confectioners' sugar and shortening together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract. Gradually add coconut milk, beating until smooth; you may need to use more or less milk depending on the desired thickness of the icing.
- Cut the cooled cake in half to form two 4 1/2x9-inch pieces. Spread pineapple filling on top of one half. Place the other half, top-side down, on top of the filling. Frost the sides and top with icing, then sprinkle coconut all over icing, pressing gently so it sticks.

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.
THROWDOWN'S TOASTED COCONUT CAKE WITH COCONUT FILLING AND COCONUT BUTTERCREAM
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Spread the coconut evenly onto a baking sheet and toast until lightly golden brown, stirring once, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the coconut sit in the oven until very dry and crunchy, about 15 minutes longer.
- Bring water and sugar to a boil. Stir in the coconut, remove from the heat and let sit for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. Strain the liquid into a clean saucepan, bring to a boil and let cook until the mixture is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
- Combine the milks and vanilla bean and seeds in a medium nonreactive saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat.
- Whisk together the yolks, sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl. Slowly whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture then return the mixture to the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, until thickened. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and whisk in the rum and vanilla extract. Let cool to room temperature then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
- Combine the custard and cream in a bowl and whip until soft peaks form.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the coconut custard and salt and beat until combined and smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour 2 (9 by 2-inch) round cake pans and line bottoms with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the milk, egg whites, vanilla bean seeds and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. With mixer running at low speed, add the butter, one piece at a time and continue beating until mixture resembles moist crumbs. Add all but 1/2 cup of milk mixture to crumbs and beat at medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add remaining 1/2 cup of the milk mixture, increase speed to medium and beat 30 seconds more. Scrape sides of bowl and mix for 20 seconds longer. Divide the batter evenly between the cakes pan and smooth the tops using a rubber spatula.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs attached, 22 to 24 minutes. Cool in the pan on baking rack for 10 minutes. Run a small knife around the side of the pan and invert cakes onto the baking rack, removing parchment paper, and let cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- Using a long serrated knife, slice each cake horizontally into 2 layers. Reserve 1 of the flat bottom layers for the top of the cake. Place another layer on a cardboard round cut side up and brush with some of the coconut simple syrup. Spoon 1/3 of the coconut filling onto the cake and using a small offset metal spatula, spread it into an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the cake. Repeat with 2 more layers. Brush the cut side of the reserved cake layer with the remaining syrup. Place the layer cut side down on top of the cake.
- Frost the sides and top of the cake with the buttercream. Pat the coconut onto the sides of the cake and sprinkle the remaining coconut on the top of the cake.

- Cherry Filling. This cherry filling is a simple, six-ingredient recipe that takes no time to make and tastes great on everything. You can add it to cakes, pies, bagels, cookies, and more.
- Mascarpone Cream. Mascarpone has something special that makes it ideal for pretty much everything, be it sweet or savory. It’s like cream cheese, just sweeter, less tangy, and much smoother.
- Vanilla Custard Cake Filling. Custard isn’t for everyone, but my family adores it. I love that you can flavor it however you like (with chocolate or dried fruit powder), but this recipe is for good, old-fashioned vanilla.
- Raspberry Cake Filling. Ah, ruby red raspberry filling. Who wouldn’t love it? It’s tart and tangy, full of raspberry goodness, and the texture is thick, sticky, and fantastic.
- Strawberry Filling for Cakes Tarts and Desserts. This strawberry filling looks much like the raspberry filling above, and they even have a similar texture.
- Orange Curd Cake Filling. Add a boost of citrusy flavor to your cakes with this orange curd filling. It’s bright and tangy and tastes so much better than the word “curd” makes it sound.
- Lemon Curd. Of course, lemon curd is probably the one you’ve tried before. It’s zippy, bright, and adds a big kick of lip-smacking goodness to your food.
- Simple Vanilla Buttercream (American Buttercream Recipe) I love whipped frosting, but I’m in the minority in my family. Literally everyone else goes for the buttercream.
- Blueberry Curd. Here’s another tart and tangy treat that often gets overlooked because of the “curd curse.” It has a lovely pinkish-purple color and tastes like pure blueberries.
- Classic French Buttercream. As I mentioned earlier, I prefer whipped frosting to buttercream. It isn’t that I don’t like buttercream; I do. It’s just so overwhelmingly sweet (which is probably why most people love it).
