Coconut Cake

The best toasted Coconut Cake - moist, light and most importantly homemade!

What you will need:

  • Classic Yellow Cake Mix
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes

Directions:

  1. Prepare Cake Mix as directed on package.
  2. While the cake is baking, prepare the Glaze & Toasted Coconut Flakes.
  3. When the cake is done, let it cool before removing from the cake pan and dressing. First apply the glaze then sprinkle on the toasted coconut flakes.

Glaze:

  1. Mix 1/2 cup powdered sweetener with 3 tbsp liquid of choice (water, milk or coconut water/milk). You can add almond milk or heavy cream too but it becomes too much.

Toasted Coconut Flakes:

  1. Place 2 cups of unsweetened coconut flakes in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 3-6 minutes, stirring continuously until most of the coconut is golden brown. Remove from the pan and cool completely.
