Ultimate Coconut Cake Recipe

Steps

1. 1Preheat oven to 350º F. Prepare 9x13x2 or larger sheet pan by brushing with homemade cake release (cake goop) or spraying with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
2. 2Prepare white cake recipe batter as instructed and pour into prepared pan. Place prepared pan onto a rimmed sheet pan for baking. Place in the preheated oven and bake until the center of the cake springs back to the touch and a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center, about 40 - 50 minutes. You can follow my tips for how to tell when your cake is done.
3. 3Remove from the oven. While still warm from the oven, use the skewer and poke holes all over the cake. Mix together the coconut cream and coconut milk in a small bowl. Pour the coconut cream mixture over the top of the cake, being sure to spread evenly across the entire cake so the cream seeps into the holes made from the skewers. Allow to cool completely.
4. 4Prepare whipped cream recipe, adding coconut flavoring or coconut rum to the whipped cream mixture. Spread evenly on top of cake and sprinkle with coconut. Refrigerate.
