Directions:
- For Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease & flour 3 (9-inch) rd baking pans. Prepare cake mix according to pkg directions, adding 3/4 tsp coconut extract.
- Pour batter into prepared pans & bake according to pkg directions, but baking time should be reduced due to dividing the batter into 3 separate pans. Cool 10 min, remove from pans & cool completely on wire racks.
- For Coconut Buttercream Frosting:.
- In a sml mixer bowl, combine sugar & egg whites. Place over simmering water, but do not allow water temp to exceed 120 degrees.
- Whisk whites till sugar is dissolved & remove from heat. Beat at high-speed till stiff peaks form & mixture has cooled.
- Using med-speed, gradually beat in butter + vanilla & cont beating till mixture is smooth & fluffy. Fold in 2 tsp coconut extract. Remove about 2 tbsp & put aside to use for garnish.
- To Decorate Cake:.
- Place 1 cake layer on serving plate. Spread w/buttercream frosting & repeat process w/2nd cake layer. Top w/3rd cake layer. Spread remaining buttercream frosting on sides & top of cake.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over top of cake.
- Crush 8 vanilla wafers, combine w/8 oz shredded/toasted coconut & coat sides of cake w/mixture.
- Using the reserved buttercream frosting, pipe 12 sml rosettes on top of cake just inside the edges. Crush last 4 vanilla wafers & lightly sprinkle a dusting of crumbs atop ea rosette. Refrigerate till ready to cut & serve.
- NOTE: Except for a cpl of minor chgs, I pretty much entered this recipe as written ~ but I have to admit I would be sorely tempted to use my favorite non-cook buttercream frosting recipe & get on w/decorating the cake as directed. I enjoy taking extra care for recipes, but I allow my practical side to overrule such time extravagances. :-).
