Coconut Cloud Cake Recipes

COCONUT CLOUD CAKE

Steps:

• Make the batter: Preheat oven to 350°F. Using a small brush, lightly coat three 9-inch cake pans with softened butter. Dust with flour and tap out any excess. Set aside. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. In a large bowl, using a mixer set at high speed, beat the butter and sugar until well combined. Add the vanilla and egg whites and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 2 more minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low and add half the flour mixture. Beat just until flour is completely absorbed. Add the milk and beat for 1 minute. Add the remaining flour mixture and beat for 1 more minute.
• Bake the cake: Divide the batter equally among all 3 cake pans and spread evenly. Bake on the middle rack of the oven until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a tester inserted into the center of each cake layer comes out clean - 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Using a knife, loosen the cake layers from the sides of the pans and invert the layers onto the wire rack to cool completely.
• Frost the cake: Use a serrated knife to trim the mounded side of each layer to level them, if necessary. Line the edges of a cake plate with 3-inch-wide strips of waxed or parchment paper and place a cake layer, trimmed side down, on top. Spread the layer with 3/4 cup of our Lemon Curd recipe and place the second layer, trimmed side down, on top of the first. Spread another 3/4 cup of Lemon Curd on the second layer and top with the last cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with our Fluffy Meringue Frosting and sprinkle all over with coconut. Remove paper strips and serve at room temperature. Store at room temperature for up to 4 days.

• Attach the bowl to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat the mixture on high speed until glossy and voluminous, about 7 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
• Carefully run a long offset spatula or knife around the inner and outer perimeter of the cake pan to release cake.
• Place on a plate, bottom side up. Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice off 1 1/2 inches from the top of the cake, being sure not to break the layer. Set aside. Cut out a 1-inch-wide, 1-inch-deep channel halfway between the center and edge of cake. Spread icing into channel and over entire layer. Sprinkle with coconut.

COCONUT CLOUD CAKE

Steps:

• 1. CAKE DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan, or spray with baking spray. (This could also be made into cupcakes or 2 8" layers.)
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed to combine.
• 3. Gradually beat in softened butter and mix until crumbly. Beat in egg whites, one at a time. Beat in whole egg.
• 4. In a separate small bowl, whisk heavy cream and extracts together.
• 5. Slowly stir this mixture into the cake batter, beating the mixture until fluffy, about 3 minutes (depending on the speed of your mixer).
• 6. Pour batter into pan. I always "burp" my cakes by bouncing them on the countertops to release any bubbles, making the cake denser without a lot of holes.
• 7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
• 8. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, poke holes throughout the cake with a fork.
• 9. Pour cream of coconut over the top, letting it absorb into the cake. Cool thoroughly before frosting.
• 10. FROSTING: Note: Cold mixing bowl and utensils work best when making the icing. In a large mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and coconut extract together. Mix on medium speed until smooth, with no lumps.
• 11. Slowly add the heavy whipping cream.
• 12. Beat on high until the cream forms stiff peaks (about 3 to 5 minutes). Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl several times while mixing.
• 13. Spread whipped icing over cake and top with coconut. Store in a tightly covered pan in the refrigerator.

COCONUT CLOUD CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes. Gently remove the egg whites from the mixer to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Combine the sugar and butter in the bowl of the mixer and cream together, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and whip an additional 30 seconds to incorporate.
• In another medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder and fine salt. With the mixer on low speed, pour half the coconut milk into the butter and sugar mixture. Turn the mixer off and add half the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Repeat this process with the remaining coconut milk and dry ingredients.
• Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
• For the coconut syrup: Place the coconut water and honey in a microwave-safe container. Microwave until the honey is dissolved, about 1 minute. Poke the surface of the cake with the tines of a fork. Brush the cake with the warm syrup. Sprinkle the flaked coconut evenly over the cake.
• For the frosting: Place the sugar and coconut water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Let boil for 2 minutes before you add it to the egg whites (see below).
• Meanwhile, place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to the lowest setting and slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites. Continue to drizzle until all the syrup has been added. Then, turn the mixer up to high speed and whip until the frosting becomes thick, glossy and holds stiff peaks, about 3 minutes more. The frosting should be used to decorate the cake immediately.
• Scrape the frosting onto the center of the cake in a large mound. Push outward with an offset spatula, spreading the frosting over the surface of the cake and making cloudlike swirls to cover completely.
