TOASTED COCONUT LAYER CAKE
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 8-inch cake pans, then fit each with a parchment round. Butter and flour the parchment.
- Separate the eggs into whites and yolks. Set the yolks aside. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, then set aside until ready to use.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat together the granulated sugar, butter and coconut oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer or with a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolks, coconut cream and vanilla and beat until just combined. Alternate adding the buttermilk and flour mixture to the butter mixture, being careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the beaten whites until completely incorporated, but keeping the volume!
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cakes comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- For the coconut cream cheese frosting: Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and butter in a stand mixer or in a bowl with a hand mixer until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut extract and salt, then slowly start to add the powdered sugar, beating it in a little at a time. Beat until all the sugar is combined and the frosting is stiff but still light and fluffy. Add more sugar if it is too loose, or a little milk if it is too thick. Set aside at room temperature until you are ready to decorate.
- If the cakes have domed at all, shave down any uneven parts to make the tops of the cakes flat and smooth.
- Spread 1 tablespoon frosting on a cake plate or stand; this will help keep the cake in place while you decorate. Place one cake cut-side up on the plate. Dollop about 1 cup frosting on top of the cake and spread it in an even layer using a spatula, knife or spoon. Place the second cake on top of the first. Add another 2 cups frosting to the top of the cake and smooth it over the top and down the sides. Repeat with any remaining frosting until the outside of the cake is frosted and smooth. Using your hands, press the toasted coconut into the sides of the cake and sprinkle it on the top, so that the entire cake is covered in toasted coconut.
- Slice and serve, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
EASY HOMEMADE COCONUT LEMON CAKE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat your oven to 350 F / 180 C. Grease and flour your cake pan(s). Zest and juice the lemon.
- With an electric mixer or by hand, beat together the eggs and sugar until thick. Gradually beat in the oil, then beat in the vanilla, lemon juice, and zest.
- Stir in the flour, coconut, baking powder and salt, and then the milk. Beat until smooth,
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan(s). Bake in the middle of your preheated oven until the cake tests done-approximately 25 to 30 minutes for layers; 35 to 40 minutes for oblong; 40 minutes for a tube or Bundt pan.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully loosen the cake from the sides of the pan with a spatula, then turn out the cake onto a rack to finish cooling.
- To decorate the cooled cake, mix the sifted confectioners' sugar and vanilla with enough cream or milk to a spreadable consistency. Spread the icing in a thin layer over the top of the cake, and dust the icing with toasted coconut. Allow the icing to set before serving. *Note: To make toasted coconut, spread the grated unsweetened coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet.

LEMON CAKE WITH COCONUT ICING
A version of this golden, tart-sweet confection was served at the 76th birthday of the legendary Southern chef, Edna Lewis. It is a true labor of love, so be sure to set aside a full afternoon to make it; this is not the sort of cake you want to rush.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease three 9-inch cake pans with butter and dust with flour.
- Bake the cake: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the milk and vanilla and set aside.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add a third of the flour mixture, then half the milk mixture in alternating additions, mixing in between just enough to incorporate, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The cakes should be barely done in the middle. Cool 5 minutes in the pans, then unmold onto wire racks to cool.
- To make the lemon curd: In a medium saucepan combine the sugar, flour and cornstarch. In a bowl whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice and 1 cup of water. Beat in the eggs. Slowly whisk the lemon mixture into the sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, slowly whisking until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate until ready to use. (This can be made several days ahead.)
- Make the icing: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with 1/2 cup cold water and bring to a boil over high heat without stirring. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Dip a spoon into the syrup and let it drip off. When a 2- to 3-inch thread hangs off, remove from heat. Meanwhile, change the mixer attachment to the whisk attachment and beat the egg whites on medium speed until they hold their shape, about 2 minutes. With the mixer running, slowly add in the syrup in a steady stream. Increase the speed and beat the mixture until firm, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and whisk briefly to combine. Set aside.
- To assemble: Place 1 cake layer on a serving platter. Spread half the lemon curd on top, but do not let it spill down the sides. Repeat with the second layer, then top with the third cake. Spread the icing on the top and sides, then cover it with the coconut, pressing it in on the sides with the palms of your hands.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 12-cup Bundt pan; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter on medium-high until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and lemon zest; beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two batches coconut cream, until just combined (do not overmix).
- Transfer batter to prepared pan; tap on counter, and smooth top with an offset spatula. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make lemon syrup: combine the lemon juice (you will need about 1/3 cup), remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Transfer Bundt pan to a wire rack to cool 30 minutes. Gradually brush cake with lemon syrup over the next 30 minutes as it continues to cool, letting it absorb before brushing on more. Turn out cake onto rack to cool completely. (Cake can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic, up to 3 days.)
- In a well-chilled bowl, whisk heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar and whisk until medium-stiff peaks form. Just before serving, top cake with whipped cream, then toasted coconut.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- With an electric mixer, cream the butter and 2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut milk and vanilla. Add half of the milk mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until well blended.
- Into another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the sifted mixture to the butter mixture and stir well. Thoroughly mix in the remaining milk mixture. The batter will be very heavy.
- Using an electric mixer with clean, dry beaters and a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the beaten whites into the batter until no trace of white remains.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until the tip of a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, make the lemon curd. In the saucepan, whisk together the lemon peel, juice, sugar, and eggs.
- On medium heat, cook the mixture, whisking constantly until the curd thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- For a perfectly smooth curd, pour the curd through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the lemon peel and any bits of egg (I always do this, because there are always little egg bits in the curd).
- Whisk in the butter a little at a time.
- Refrigerate the curd until well-chilled, about an hour.
- When the cake is cooled, spread half of the lemon curd between the two layers.
- Whip the cream until stiff and stir in the remaining lemon curd. Spread the whipped lemon cream over the cake and chill well.
- Serve sprinkled with toasted coconut flakes.
