Coconut Minis Vanilla Sandwich Cake Recipes

GRANDMA YEARWOOD'S COCONUT CAKE (MADE WITH VANILLA WAFERS)

Steps:

• Note: If using an 11 oz. box of vanilla wafers, add 1/8 cup flour to the recipe.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Generously coat a 9-inch bundt cake pan with cooking spray and a light dusting of flour.
• Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Beat well.
• Add vanilla wafer, coconut flakes, and pecans. Mix until well incorporated.
• Pour batter in pan and bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool completely.
• Use a knife to loosen the cake from the edges and interior of the pan. Invert onto a plate and give it a couple of good taps to unmold.

COCONUT AND VANILLA SPONGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to Gas3/160°C/Fan 150°C. Grease and line a 7-inch round baking tin.
• Combine caster sugar and butter with an electric hand whisk until fluffy. Add in the flour, baking powder, eggs, desiccated coconut, vanilla extract and dried fruit (if using) and mix until well combined. If the mixture is a little stiff, add a little milk to loosen it.
• Pour mixture into the pre-lined baking tin and bake for 50-mins, or until golden brown and firm all the way through. When cake is done, remove from the oven and transfer onto a wire rack. Leave to cool before removing from the tin and decorating.
• Decorate with coconut pieces, honey drizzle and icing sugar! Or, if you're feeling creative, turn it into a sponge sandwich with a vanilla buttercream filling!
