Very Moist Coconut Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For this delicious very moist coconut cake you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Instructions
To make this very moist coconut cake, you will need to preheat your oven to 350°F and grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add in the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition. Add in the vanilla and mix until combined.
With the mixer still on low, add in the sour cream and mix until just combined. Add in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk and mixing until just combined after each addition.
Fold in the shredded coconut with a rubber spatula until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
