A delightful homage to coconut confections, this Coconut Raffaello Cake features fluffy layers infused with rich coconut flavor and creamy frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Coconut flakes for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Beat together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the melted butter and milk, mixing until combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. For the frosting, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gradually mix in the coconut cream until well combined.
  10. Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of coconut cream, then add the second layer on top.
  11. Spread the remaining coconut cream over the top and sides of the cake, smoothing it out for an even finish.
  12. Decorate the cake generously with coconut flakes.
  13. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation. Don’t overmix the batter, as this can lead to a dense cake.
