Creamy Coconut Cake is a delicious tropical treat that combines the rich flavors of coconut and a moist, tender crumb. Perfect for special occasions or a sweet weekend indulgence, this cake is sure to impress friends and family with its delightful texture and taste.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/3 cup sugar
63g
1.50 cups coconut milk
340g
3 eggs
150g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1/3 cup dried coconut meat
50g
2 cups coconut milk
460g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually pour in the coconut milk, stirring until well combined.
- Add the self-raising flour and dried coconut meat. Mix until you have a smooth batter, but do not overmix.
3. Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Prepare the Coconut Glaze:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 2 cups of coconut milk and 1 cup of powdered sugar.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly (this should take about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let the glaze cool to room temperature.
5. Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cake has cooled completely, place it on a serving plate.
- Pour the coconut glaze over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle some extra dried coconut meat on top for garnish.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the glaze set for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve your creamy coconut cake with a hot cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!

Tips:

- Room temperature ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start mixing the batter. This ensures even mixing and a smoother batter, resulting in a finer cake texture.

- Avoid overmixing: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake.

- Use quality coconut milk: For the best flavor, use high-quality coconut milk. It makes a significant difference in the richness and coconut flavor of the cake.

- Garnishing: Consider toasting some coconut flakes and sprinkling them on top of the cake for added texture and a beautiful presentation.

Enjoy your homemade Creamy Coconut Cake with a cup of tea or coffee, or serve it as a delightful dessert at your next gathering. The combination of coconut milk, butter, and dried coconut meat creates a wonderfully moist and flavorful cake that will surely become a favorite. Happy baking!
