COCONUT SYRUP

Steps:

• Open the can of coconut milk. Pour into a small saucepan with the heat turned off. Add the cornstarch and whisk thoroughly.*
• Turn the heat to medium once the cornstarch is completely incorporated. Add the sugar, salt, and corn syrup.
• Stir very frequently over medium heat until the liquid starts to thicken. If you start to see bubbles from boiling, take it off the heat.
• Add the vanilla and stir. The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
• Serve with your favorite pancakes, waffles, or I bet it would make a great Italian soda or cocktail!

COCONUT CAKE WITH COCONUT SYRUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease and flour 2 9-inch layer pans.
• To make the cake: Mix the butter and sugar in an electric mixer until light, fluffy and a pale lemon color, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the eggs and the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
• Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add 1/2 of the coconut milk, beat well.
• Add another 1/3 of the flour mixture, beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the remaining 1/2 cup of coconut milk and the vanilla.
• Beat well.
• Add the final 1/3 of the flour mixture and beat well.
• Add the shredded coconut and mix to combine.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl (that batter is always trying to escape!) and spoon the batter into the 2 prepared pans.
• Bake until lightly golden and springy on top, about 35 minutes.
• To make the syrup: Place the coconut milk, coconut and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Lower the heat to low and cook until the sugar has melted and the mixture has thickened a bit, about 4-5 minutes.
• Cool the cakes in the pans for about 5 minutes, invert onto a rack and split each one in half with a serrated knif, so you have 4 layers.
• Prick holes in the layers with a fork and drizzle each layer with the warm coconut syrup.
• While the cakes are cooling, make (or open) your icing.
• Spread the frosting on each layer.
• Re-assemble the cake and frost the outside.
• Sprinkle all over with the shredded coconut you saved for the garnish.
