today we're in the kitchen we're gonna
be making a sweet recipe we're making a
vegan coconut cake with a smooth coconut
cream icing we're gonna be finishing it
up with a little texture of coconut
flakes and this recipe is tasty its
fluffy I mean this thing is gorgeous it
it's like a mini wedding cake first
we're gonna turn the oven on to 350 and
prep two 8 inch baking pans using
parchment paper butter and flour we're
gonna make sure these things pop right
out we're gonna need two bowls in the
largest bowl add sugar butter and cream
that together add in the applesauce
blend and make sure you scrape down the
sides add in vanilla almond and coconut
and blend again in our other bowl with a
sifter cake flour baking powder baking
soda and salt sifting all these together
really help add that fluffy and light
feel to the cake a little whisk helps
blend it some more
break out the Pyrex if you ran out of
bowls in with the coconut milk and apple
cider vinegar alternate adding your dry
ingredients in your coconut milk mixture
this way when you blend the flour
doesn't go everywhere then for your
coconut flakes make sure you fold these
in so you don't over mix with your
blender pour the batter into both pans
evenly now I usually give it a little
shimmy and a little tap this helps me
level the cake and get any air out of
the batter pop each pan into the oven
now for the frosting start with your
butter and then in next with the
powdered sugar blend these together just
a bit then in with the vanilla and
almond extract
the trick to getting a really good
consistency with your frosting is adding
in your milk a tablespoon at a time and
then add in your last extract once you
feel like you have it at the good spot
grab your bear claw mitts and pop the
cake out the oven make sure you do the
knife tests this way you can tell if
it's actually done or if you have to pop
it back in the oven for a few minutes
once you let the cake cool down
completely it's time to add the frosting
peel off the parchment paper and get
ready for the fun stuff when doing a
double layer cake I really try to build
up the midsection next add the other one
on top and get frosting all over the
place here we finish it up by adding the
shredded coconut these flakes on the
outside help balance that soft texture
on the inside and boom you're done
check out how soft that thing is in the
inside make sure to slice a piece then
take the rest and go hide in the closet
and eat it you deserve it
