Coconut Sheet Cake

1. Single-Layer Coconut Cake

I miss a really straightforward Coconut Sheet Cake that my mother used to make so much. It was a single-layer cake with sweetened coconut and whipped cream on top. It was a simple cake with a subtle coconut taste rather than an extravagant showstopper.

Since I almost always make my baked goods from scratch, it has been a labor of love for me to modify some of my mother’s cake mix-loving mother’s collection of recipes. And after a number of failed efforts, I finally came up with a recipe for Coconut Sheet Cake that reminds me of a beloved sweet. My best attempt at duplicating that favorite cake is this recipe for Coconut Sheet Cake.

Both the cake and the topping are made using coconut milk. Naturally, there is plenty of coconut on top to cap it off. Like me, you probably love coconut, therefore you’ll love this cake. It’s quite simple to produce and suitable for a wide range of events. That is a successful mix at all times!

For an accurate list of ingredients and detailed instructions, refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post. The ingredients you’ll need to make this Coconut Sheet Cake recipe are listed below with some helpful information.

To make the Coconut Sheet Cake:

For optimal results, measure all-purpose flour by weight or using the spoon-and-sweep method. Study more: How to Calculate Flour

• A baking soda
• Bread soda
• Salt
• Unsalted butter: Before combining, let the butter soften. Study more: Tips for Softening Butter
• Refined sugar
• Lay out the eggs and butter so they can acclimate to room temperature.
• Use coconut or almond extract in place of vanilla extract for a distinct flavor.
• Coconut milk: Measure out the coconut milk for the cake and set it aside to warm up before combining. Store the remaining coconut milk in the fridge for the icing. Use canned coconut milk as opposed to diluted coconut milk found in cartons. Evenly stir the milk if necessary.

For the frosting:

• The best option is either heavy cream or heavy whipping cream. Before whipping your cream, make sure it is cold.
• Coconut milk: The coconut milk also needs to be chilled.
• Confectioners’ sugar: I’ve provided a range of amounts so you can adjust the whipped cream’s sweetness to your preferred level.
• Shredded sweetened coconut – I prefer sweetened coconut for this cake, but if you prefer something a little less sweet, you may use unsweetened coconut. Although it’s not required, I like to toast the coconut since it tastes better and looks nicer.

3. How to toast coconut?

Coconut can be heated on the stovetop or in the oven to toast it. To toast coconut in the oven, spread it out in a single layer on a baking sheet with a rim and bake for about 10 minutes at 350°F, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Put the coconut in a skillet and roast it in a medium-low oven, turning periodically, until it is lightly toasted.

This straightforward cake is quick and simple to put together. Before adding the topping, make sure to give the cake enough time to cool completely.

Make the bread

• Get ready to bake. Oven temperature set to 350 °F. A 9 x 13 x 2 baking pan should be lined with parchment paper. Grease the pan’s exposed areas, including the paper. Be careful to grease (or butter and flour) the pan if you don’t want to line it.
• The dry components must be mixed. Salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour are all combined in a whisk.
• Mix the wet ingredients together. The butter and sugar should be mixed on medium speed with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until frothy and light in color. One at a time, add the eggs, and stir thoroughly after each addition. Add the vanilla and stir.
• Blend to completion. Add the flour mixture in three pieces, alternating with two portions of the coconut milk, while running the mixer on low speed. Just enough to blend.
• Bake. Spread the batter evenly after transferring it to the prepared pan. To remove any significant air pockets, lightly tap the pan on the counter several times. For 35 to 40 minutes, bake the pan in the oven. A toothpick or cake tester should come out clean when placed into the center of the golden-brown cake.
• Cool. After removing the cake from the pan, set it on a wire rack to cool fully.
