A rich and delightful Chocolate Coconut Cake, perfect for any celebration, filled with the aromas and flavors of chocolate and coconut.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • Chocolate frosting for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
  3. Add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Gradually stir in the hot water, blending until the batter is completely combined.
  5. Gently fold in the shredded coconut, distributing it evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top as needed to create an even layer.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once cool, frost generously with your favorite chocolate frosting.

Notes

This cake pairs well with vanilla ice cream or a bright berry compote. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
