The southern living coconut chiffon is the best I’ve made (and I’ve made a lot)

Half the reviews love it, half say it’s too dense. I think some people don’t like pound cake’s density, personally I love it so I’ll make this next time MIL is coming over. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/8535279/tom-cruise-cake/ |

Nathalie Dupree's is awesome. The key is using soft white flour (White Lily, or cake flour if you don't have WL).
COCONUT CAKE 1 1/4 cups flour 1 1/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising) 1 TBL baking powder 1 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups sugar 3/4 cup soft butter 2 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla Icing: 3 egg whites, stiffly beaten 2 cups sugar Meat of 1 fresh coconut, ground or grated 1 cup coconut milk For the cake, preheat the oven to 350°. Grease two 8" cake pans & dust w/flour. Place circles of waxed paper in the bottoms of the pans & grease & flour them. Sift the flour, baking powder & salt together. In a separate bowl, cream the sugar & butter, then add the eggs & vanilla & beat well. Add the dry ingredients & milk alternately, starting & ending w/the dry ingredients & beat until smooth. Pour the batter into the pans & bake 20-25 minutes. Cool on a rack, remove from the pans & peel off the waxed paper. To make the icing: Place the beaten egg whites in a saucepan & add sugar, coconut & coconut milk. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a full boil & boil 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat & spread on the cake while both the cake & icing are still warm.~~ |
