    Recipe



    Cream Cheese Frosting

    4 cups sweetened shredded coconut
    At Shubox Cafe, this dessert is known as Awesome Coconut Cake, aptly named by one of the cafe’s best customers. To make this recipe, you’ll need to buy one 15-ounce can of sweetened cream of coconut. Some of it is used in the cake; be sure to save the rest for the Cream Cheese
    Frosting. Preheat oven to 350°. Butter and flour two
    9-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides. Whisk
    flour, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in
    medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat sugar,
    butter and sweetened cream of coconut in large bowl until
    fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla extract. On low
    speed, beat in dry ingredients and then buttermilk, each
    just until blended.
    Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites with pinch of salt
    in another large bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold beaten
    egg whites into batter.
    Divide cake batter between prepared pans. Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45
    minutes. Cool cakes in pans on rack 10 minutes. Run small sharp knife around pan sides to loosen cakes. Turn cakes out onto racks and cool completely.
    Place 1 cake layer on cake plate. Spread 1 cup Cream Cheese Frosting over cake layer. Sprinkle 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut over. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle remaining coconut over cake, gently pressing into sides to adhere.
    (Coconut Layer Cake can be prepared up to 1 day ahead.
    Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Let stand at room
    temperature 2 hours before serving.)
    *Canned sweetened cream of coconut is available in the
    liquor section of most supermarkets nationwide.

    Makes 10 servings.
