Coconut cake with strawberries

Coconut Cake

This delicious coconut cake recipe is provided exclusively for Beko by blogger andThe Awkward Blog

Spring fever has sprung! I feel like we're slowly crawling out of winter - there's been lots of glorious sunshine, flowers, and realising we ought to cut the grass…already! It's been a while since I've baked a whole cake, but what better way to anticipate the onslaught of summer than to bake something fancy? So, something simple. Something that screams sunshine. It had to be a coconut cake!

Here's the recipe I use, but first: preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius

For the Cake

  • 380 grams of plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
  • 1 teaspoon of almond essence
  • 250 grams of unsalted butter
  • 2 cups of light brown sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup of milk (you could also use coconut milk if you wanted to be fancy)
  • 1 packet of shredded coconut (about 5 ounces)

For the icing

  • 1 tub of soft cream cheese
  • 230 grams of butter
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
  • 1 teaspoon of almond essence
  • 1 packet of shredded coconut
  • 350 grams of icing sugar

Method

  1. First, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, continue mixing on medium speed
  3. Add the vanilla and almond extracts

At this point, the cake mix will look like it's gone wrong! This is good, don't worry. It will look like globs of curd!

  1. In another bowl, add all the dry ingredients
  2. On a slow speed, add this to the cake mix a bit at time, alternating between adding the flour and mixing in a little milk each time.

I've experimented with using coconut milk and it works, but for the sake of ease we're going to stick to good old semi-skimmed.

  1. Once you've poured in the last bit of milk and flour, stop the mixer.
  2. Fold in the shredded coconut, then separate the cake batter into two cake pans.
  3. Put them into the oven for about 45 minutes.

Once they're done, let them cool so that when it's time to ice the cakes - the icing won't turn into a pile of melted buttery goo. Many cakes have been spoiled with my greedy impatience!

  1. Once they're done allow to cool
  2. Add the cream cheese and butter into the mixer on low speed, then add in the vanilla and almond essences
  3. Add the icing sugar bit by bit until it reaches a thick and creamy texture.
  4. Gently stir in the shredded coconut - The end result looks a little bit like rice pudding!
  5. Using a spatula knife, evenly spread the icing until you have created a big, lumpy, coconuty monster!
  6. If you have leftover shredded coconut, sprinkle it on the top and sides
  7. To top off the cake, I added big fat strawberries all around as a tasty nod to spring

I cut myself a thick wedge of cake and took it out into the garden while I soaked up the sun.

Salted Caramel Chocolate Fudge Cake

Salted Caramel Chocolate Fudge Cake

This recipe comes to us from , the creator of Sophie Loves Food.

For the cake:

  • 125g caster sugar
  • 100g soft brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 240ml vegetable oil
  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 75g cocoa powder
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 1tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • 2tbsp plain, natural yoghurt

For the salted caramel buttercream filling:

  • 250g unsalted butter, softened
  • 500g icing sugar
  • 3tbsp Bonne Maman Confiture de Caramel
  • A pinch of sea salt

For the chocolate fudge topping:

  • 200g dark chocolate
  • 125ml double cream
  • 2tbsp Bonne Maman Confiture de Caramel
  • Chopped fudge pieces to decorate

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180 degrees. Butter three sandwich cake tins and line the bottom of each with baking paper.
  2. Using a mixer or electric whisk, beat the caster sugar, soft brown sugar, eggs and vanilla together for about four minutes until creamy. Slowly add the vegetable oil and mix again well.
  3. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and stir together well with a metal spoon or spatula. Add a pinch of salt and stir in the plain yoghurt, mix well.
  4. Divide the mixture equally between the prepared baking tins and bake for 30 minutes. Once a skewer comes out clean, take the sponges out of the oven and leave to cool in the tins.
  1. To make the filling, beat the butter until soft and a little fluffy. Carefully add the icing sugar a little at a time and keep mixing until the whole amount is added in. Add the caramel sauce and a pinch of sea salt and mix well.
  2. Once the sponges are completely cool, sandwich them together with equal amounts of buttercream.
  3. To make the chocolate fudge topping, melt the chocolate and stir in the cream and caramel once slightly cooled. Leave to cool entirely, before spreading the fudge topping over the entire cake. I found it easier to do a crumb coating, although the second layer was a lot cooler and a lot less spreadable. Decorate with chopped fudge pieces.
