Mounds or Bounty? Doesn’t matter where we are in the world! This moist chocolate and coconut cake will remind us what we love in those chocolate bars!
As I lately have a little time, I was surfing on the internet the other day. Attempting to find fresh, stirring tips, inspiring meals that I’ve never tried before, to delight my family with. Searching for a while yet could not discover any interesting stuff. Right before I thought to give up on it, I stumbled on this fabulous and easy dessert by accident over Suncakemom. It seemed so delightful on its image, that required fast action.
It had been not difficult to imagine how it’s made, its taste and just how much my hubby will enjoy it. Actually, it is extremely easy to keep happy him when it comes to desserts. Yes, I’m a blessed one. Or possibly he is.Anyway, I visited the page and then used the detailed instuctions that have been coupled with impressive shots of the task. It just makes life faster and easier. I could imagine that it is a bit of a effort to take snap shots down the middle of cooking in the kitchen as you will often have gross hands and so i really appreciate the effort and time she devote for making this post .
With that said I am inspired to present my own dishes in a similar way. Thanks for the concept.
I was tweaking the initial recipe create it for the taste of my family. I have to mention it had been an awesome outcome. They loved the flavour, the consistency and enjoyed getting a sweet such as this in the midst of a busy workweek. They ultimately demanded lots more, more and more. Hence the next occasion I’m not going to make the same miscalculation. I’m likely to twin the quantity to keep them pleased.
Thanks to Suncakemom for the toothsome Chocolate coconut cake recipe.
First of all, we”ll need 3 medium bowls to sort different cake ingredients in.
Mix unsweetened cocoa powder and warm water in the first bowl until we get smooth liquid without any lumps in it. Put it aside a bit to cool.
Meanwhile measure and mix flour with the baking powder.
Separate eggs. Beat egg whites until hard peaks form.
Whisk butter and honey with an electric-mixer until butter has a light yellow color. Then put yolks into the mixture one by one. Mix them well.
With the mixer on low speed, add flour in three additions alternating with the cocoa mixture, mixing each addition just until incorporated.
Pour batter into prepared round cake tin and put it into the 350°F / 180°C preheated oven.
Bake the cake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
When baked transfer the tray onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
To make the filling, get a medium sized bowl to put shredded coconut, honey and cornstarch into it.
Pour about ½ cup / 100ml milk into it and blend them well with a wooden spoon until we have a smooth mixture.
Pour the rest of the milk into a saucepan to warm it before we put the coconut, flour and honey mixture into the bowl to boil. Whilst waiting for it to boil, whisk butter.
Put the coconut mixture into it and stir continuously until it bubbles.
Place it aside and wait until it cools down completely and ready to work with. Mix whisked butter evenly into the mixture for smoother consistency.
When cake cooled, get it out of the tray onto a wooden surface and cut it in half horizontally.
Divide the cream into two equal parts. One half will be the filling the other half is the topping.
Spread out one half evenly on the bottom of the cake.
Place it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to have harder consistency (it helps to work with it later).
Place the other half of the cake on top.
Now it’s ready for the topping. Spread coconut cream on top to cover the cake completely.
Continue spreading the coconut cream on the side as well.
Break chocolate into pieces and put it into a small saucepan. Place saucepan of chocolate on a slightly bigger saucepan of about 1/2 cup / 100ml water. Stir occasionally until melted completely.
Use a spoon to decorate the top of the cake with the melted chocolate. Don’t forget to take care of the sides either.
When finished, put cake in the fridge until the chocolate gets solid again.
