Chocolate Coconut Sponge Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• Sprinkle half of the shredded coconut on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
• Combine the instant espresso and water in a measuring cup; stir until dissolved. Add to a medium bowl, along with the cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat for 2 minutes with a handheld mixer on medium speed. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a baking rack and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, butter, coconut milk, salt and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer on medium speed until light, fluffy and smooth, about 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining (untoasted) coconut with a rubber spatula.
• If the cakes have domed in the center, trim to level the tops. Place one cake layer, up-side down, on a platter or plate. Spoon one-third of the frosting on top and spread evenly, almost completely to the edge. Place the other layer, up-side down, on top, pressing gently to anchor. Using an offset spatula, evenly frost the entire cake; if the frosting gets too soft, place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Gently press the toasted coconut around the outside of the cake and sprinkle it over the top.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

COCONUT AND VANILLA SPONGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to Gas3/160°C/Fan 150°C. Grease and line a 7-inch round baking tin.
• Combine caster sugar and butter with an electric hand whisk until fluffy. Add in the flour, baking powder, eggs, desiccated coconut, vanilla extract and dried fruit (if using) and mix until well combined. If the mixture is a little stiff, add a little milk to loosen it.
• Pour mixture into the pre-lined baking tin and bake for 50-mins, or until golden brown and firm all the way through. When cake is done, remove from the oven and transfer onto a wire rack. Leave to cool before removing from the tin and decorating.
• Decorate with coconut pieces, honey drizzle and icing sugar! Or, if you're feeling creative, turn it into a sponge sandwich with a vanilla buttercream filling!
