Cake
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons coconut extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup hot water
Filling
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup cream of coconut
Topping
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9×13 inch cake pan. Set aside.
- Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, coconut extract, and eggs to a large bowl.
- Whisk until well-combined.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt, and whisk just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Whisk in the hot water until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven, and use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and the cream of coconut.
- Gradually pour over the top of the cake, stopping to allow the mixture to soak into the holes before continuing.
- Let the cake cool to room temperature.
- To make the topping, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and coconut extract to a large mixing bowl.
- Beat on low speed for 30 seconds to incorporate the powdered sugar.
- Increase to high speed and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cooled cake.
- Sprinkle with shredded coconut.
- Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve.
Notes
- Buttermilk: Regular or low-fat buttermilk will work. If you can't find buttermilk, you can make a homemade buttermilk substitute.
- Vegetable oil: Or a similar neutral oil.
- Hot water: The water should just be tap hot, not boiling.
- Sweetened condensed milk: Regular or low-fat sweetened condensed milk will work.
- Cream of coconut: Cream of coconut is different than coconut milk. It's usually found in the drink mixer section in the grocery store.
