Made with delicate sponge cake layers infused with coconut milk and frosted with a luscious coconut whipped cream, this cake is perfect for any special occasion or when you’re craving a taste of the tropics.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Sponge Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Coconut Whipped Cream:

  • 2 cans of coconut cream, chilled overnight
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sponge Cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the coconut milk and vanilla extract, then fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely.
  3. Make the Coconut Whipped Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the coconut cream, powdered sugar, and coconut extract until stiff peaks form.
  4. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of coconut whipped cream on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top for garnish.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Chill the cake for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Slice and enjoy your Coconut Cloud Cake!

Notes

  • Make sure the coconut cream is well chilled for the whipped cream to whip up properly.
  • You can toast the shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
