Single Layer Coconut Cake Recipe
Ingredients
A single layer coconut cake is a classic dessert that you can whip up quickly and easily with just a few basic ingredients. This recipe requires all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sweetened coconut flakes. To make a single layer cake, you will also need an eight- or nine-inch round cake pan and a hand-held mixer.
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with a hand-held mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and the milk.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Finally, fold in the sweetened coconut flakes.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Once cooled, top with your favorite frosting (or leave plain) and enjoy!
