Coconut Cheese Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup grated white chocolate
Instructions:
Prepare the Cake Batter:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the melted butter, coconut milk, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Whip the Egg Whites:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter until well incorporated.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Topping:
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and grated white chocolate evenly over the top of the cake.
Serve:
Slice and serve the cake. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
