Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
