Thai Coconut Cake Recipes

THAI COCONUT CAKE WITH MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Grease a tube pan.
• Beat the egg WHITES on high for about 3 minutes - till they resemble whipped cream, and set aside. (Doing this first helps insure no grease from the next steps carries over on the beater/bowl and prevents them from whipping up!).
• Beat the egg YOLKS, adding in the sugar, salt, oil, coconut milk and coconut extract.
• Add the baking powder and then the flour to the yolk mixture.
• Beat just till blended.
• Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture just till incorporated - you want to keep it as fluffy as you can but still mixed.
• Pour into your prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes - or till the top is golden brown and an inserted knife/cake tester comes out clean.
• Sauce:.
• Place all the sauce ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend till smooth.
• To serve:.
• Warm the mango sauce in a saucepan.
• Cut slices of the cake and plate them.
• Pour warm sauce over.
• If desired garnish with freshly toasted unsweetened coconut.

DOUBLE COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven according to box instructions.
• Mix cake according to box instructions adding 1/2 tsp of coconut extract to cake ingredients.
• Bake according to pan size and cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.
• Whisk the Coconut Milk, condensed milk and remaining 1/2 tsp of coconut extract together.
• While cake is still warm, poke holes with thin bamboo skewer, or long tonged fork, in even rows across top.
• If making a layer cake poke holes in both layers. (Tips: We thought the thin bamboo skewer made the best holes. First dip skewer into coconut milk mixture to prevent cake from being pulled out of holes, then poke cake.).
• Using a liquid measuring cup slowly pour 2 cups of coconut mixture into all holes, and across the cake.
• Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled.
• Save remaining coconut sauce for pancakes, it makes a delicious syrup.
• Frost 9" by 13" cake with favorite topping or whipped cream and sprinkle with coconut flakes.
• Refrigerate.
• If making layer cake unmold carefully and, using 2 wide spatulas, transfer first layer of cake to dish.
• Frost.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for coated pans. Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
• Stir sugar, frozen coconut, and sour cream for filling together in a medium bowl until well combined. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
• Combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, eggs, egg whites, and vanilla for cake in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Blend on medium speed for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then invert onto a parchment-lined cooling rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Use a large, serrated knife to cut each cake layer in half lengthwise; you will have 4 pieces. Flip top pieces so all cut sides are facing up. Stack layers and filling on a serving platter as follows: 1 bottom layer, 1/3 of the filling, 1 top layer, 1/3 of the filling, remaining bottom layer, remaining filling, remaining top layer. Cover and chill, 30 minutes to overnight.

Place the bowl over a double boiler and whisk using an electric hand mixer until thick and glossy, about 7 minutes. Take care that the double boiler doesn't reach higher than a slow simmer.
• Spread frosting over cooled cake immediately and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
