Ingredients
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded coconut sweetened
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
For the White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces white chocolate melted and cooled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk and sour cream. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the shredded coconut and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, spreading it out into an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the melted white chocolate until incorporated into the frosting.
- Once the cakes have cooled completely, place one layer on a serving platter or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of the White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting over the top.
- Place the second layer of cake on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
- Optional: Garnish with additional shredded coconut and white chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy the divine decadence of Coconut White Chocolate Cake!
