I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon and ate a really delicious coconut cake in the cafe of the hotel. I made it at home for my own 27th birthday!

Since coconut milk is on the oily side, I wanted to try making this cake without adding any oil. When adding the coconut milk into the batter, feel free to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, if you like. Recipe by Gakkoiburi

Steps

1

Bring the eggs to room temperature. Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180℃.
2

Put the eggs and sugar in a bowl and use an electric mixer to beat them until thickened.
3

Sift the cake flour into the batter and mix with a rubber spatula until no longer powdery.
4

Add the coconut milk and mix until evenly blended.
5

Pour the batter into the cake pan. Tap the bottom of the pan to remove any large bubbles. Reduce the heat to 160℃ and bake for about 40 minutes.
6

When a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, it's ready. Quickly cover the top with plastic wrap, flip over, and let cool.
7

When it has cooled, cut into 3 layers. Heat the syrup in the microwave and let cool.
8

To make the cream: In a bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar until peaks form. Add the coconut milk and thoroughly mix.
9

Spread the syrup over the layers of cake, then sandwich the cream between the slices. Decorate as you like. Sprinkle with coconut and powdered sugar.

If you make it in a 15-cm cake pan, it will turn out looking very voluminous.
