White Chocolate Coconut Cake Recipe

This is a cake of your dreams! If you dream of coconut and white chocolate, of course. Soft, moist layered coconut cake made with coconut milk and coconut flakes. It’s filled with fluffy white chocolate frosting and topped with white chocolate ganache and more coconut flakes.

Servings: 1 3 layer, 8-inch cake

Ingredients

Cake:
¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup white granulated sugar
3 eggs room temperature
2½ cups all purpose flour
2½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup coconut milk can
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

Frosting:
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter room temperature
8 oz cream cheese room temperature
7 oz jar marshmallow fluff
1 cup powdered sugar
4 oz baking white chocolate bar

White Chocolate Ganache:
4 oz baking white chocolate bar
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes for topping

Instructions

Cake:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and lightly flour 3, 8-inch round baking pans. (To flour the pans: grease with cooking spray then add some flour. Pat baking pan so that it's lightly covered in flour all over the inside, then turn the pan upside down and lightly pat to discard loose flour. **I do recommend using 3 of the same cake pans at a time because it will be much easier to divide all the batter equally among the pans.)
2. Have all your ingredients ready.
