(3 grams) salt

(300 grams) sugar

eggs, room temperature (if in a hurry you can warm the eggs

(4 grams) vanilla extract

(4 grams) coconut extract

(113 g) unsalted butter, softened

(4 ounces) (113.5 grams) white chocolate

Tablespoons (12 grams) milk — chocolate

(690 grams) powdered sugar (sift then measure)

This simple Coconut Cake recipe has a fresh and delicious pineapple filling inside layers of coconut cake and frosted with a creamy coconut cream cheese frosting. It&#039;s one of my absolute favorite cakes!

all-purpose flour ((250 grams))

Tablespoon baking powder ((12 grams))

salt ((6 grams))

unsalted butter ((113 grams), room temperature)

sugar ((400 grams))

coconut milk (, divided (400 ml))

coconut extract ((7.5 ml))

pineapple ((567 g))

granulated sugar ((134 grams))

cornstarch ((16 g))

butter ((113 grams), room temperature)

cream cheese (, room temperature (226 grams))

sugar ((480 grams-600 grams))

- 2 Tablespoons leftover coconut milk (, regular milk (15-30 ml))

coconut ((85 grams))

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of two 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper and spray the bottom and sides of the pan lightly with cooking spray.

Mix dry ingredients In a mixing bowl; flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a separate mixing bowl beat the butter on medium speed with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer for 1 minute, until light and fluffy. Add sugar and mix until well creamed together. Add 1 1/4 cups canned coconut milk and coconut extract and mix.

Gradually add flour mixture and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter until incorporated.

Bake: Divide cake batter evenly between prepared cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, or with few moist crumbs. Remove the pans from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before inverting them onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Torte Cakes: Once cakes have cooled, use a sharp serrated knife to torte/cut each cake round in half horizontally, so that you end up with four thin cake rounds.

Pineapple Filling: Add all ingredients to medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir well to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens and looks &quot;glossy&quot;, about 5-8 minutes. Pour filling into a container and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling. Once cooled, cover container and refrigerate until ready to use, up to one week.

Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add powdered sugar and a splash of remaining coconut milk and mix until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add a little more milk, to thin, or powdered sugar to stiffen, if needed, until you reach your desired frosting consistency. Stir in coconut flakes, saving some for sprinkling on the sides and top of the cake, if desired.

Assemble: Place one cake layer on serving plate. Spread half of the pineapple filling over it. Top with another cake layer, and smooth a layer of cream cheese frosting over it. Top with third cake layer. Spread remaining half of the pineapple filling over it. Top with last (4th) cake layer. Frost the sides and top of the cake with coconut cream cheese frosting. Sprinkle outsides of cake with shredded coconut, if desired.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, before serving. (Tastes even better the next day!)
