If you love chocolate and coconut, this is the perfect recipe for you. This recipe combines them both and makes for a lip smacking treat! What's best, it taste just as moist and chocolaty on day 4 as it did on day 1!! Ingredients:
1 egg white |
3 tablespoons sugar |
2 cups flaked coconut, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
4 eggs, separated (keep yolks) |
1 3/4 cups sugar, divided |
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 cup sour cream |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 cup cold brewed coffee |
1/4 cup buttermilk |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
5 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat egg white on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Fold in coconut and flour; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites on medium until soft peaks form. Gradually in 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved; set aside.
3. In another large bowl, cream shortening and remaining sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, sour cream and vanilla; beat until creamy. Combine coffee and buttermilk. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with coffee mixture. Beat until combined. Fold in beaten egg whites.
4. Pour half of the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Drop coconut filling by spoonfuls over batter. Top with remaining batter.
5. Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Immediately invert cake onto a wire rack and cool for 1 hour. Run a knife around side of pan and remove.
6. In a small bowl, beat frosting ingredients until smooth and creamy. Spread over the top and side of cake. Enjoy!
