Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Coconut Milk

Pour the *shredded coconut* into the milk. Cook it for about *2 minutes*, then strain it and let it cool completely.

Step 2

Prepare the Sponge Cake Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the *eggs*, a pinch of *salt*, *sugar*, and *vanilla sugar*. Whisk for *6 to 7 minutes* until it reaches a light and fluffy consistency.

Sift in the *flour* and *baking powder* carefully. Gradually add the flour into the egg mixture, folding gently from *bottom to top* to maintain the batter's airiness.

Add *half of the infused shredded coconut* into the batter and mix well. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Bake in a preheated oven at *180°C (356°F)* for *20-25 minutes*, checking the readiness with a wooden skewer.

Step 3

Make the Cream

In a bowl, beat the *unsalted butter* until it turns pale. Gradually mix in the *sweetened condensed milk*, beating continuously until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whip the very cold *heavy cream* until it holds firm peaks. Fold it into the butter mixture gently. If the cream separates, place the bowl in hot water and keep beating it until smooth again.

Step 4

Assemble and Decorate the Cake

Follow the assembly steps as shown in the video guidance for the best results.

Decorate the cake using the remaining *shredded coconut* and *almond petals*. Serve and enjoy!

Variations

Looking to make your Coconut Almond Bliss Cake fit dietary needs? No problem! Here’s how you can easily switch it up 🌱:

Gluten-Free Option🌾:
Swap out the regular flour for a gluten-free baking mix. Ensure it's a mix specifically designed for cakes to maintain the texture you love! Be sure to check that your baking powder is also gluten-free.

Vegan Delight🌿:
Replace eggs with a reliable alternative like flaxseed or chia seed gel (1 tablespoon seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg). Use coconut milk instead of cream, and choose vegan butter for the frosting blend. Condensed coconut milk can replace the classic sweetened condensed milk for a vegan twist.

Faq

  • Why is my cake not rising properly?

    Make sure to whip the eggs and sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Also, check your baking powder for freshness as it can lose potency over time.

  • Can I make the cake without an electric mixer?

    Yes, you can mix by hand using a whisk, but be prepared for a little workout! Stir briskly to incorporate air into the eggs and sugar mixture effectively.

  • How can I prevent my cream from separating?

    Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. If the cream separates, gently warming the mixture and re-whipping can help it come back together.

  • What’s the best way to toast the almonds for garnish?

    Gently toast almond slices in a dry pan over low heat, stirring frequently until golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

  • Can I prepare the cake layers in advance?

    Absolutely! You can bake the layers and store them, tightly wrapped, at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze them for longer storage.

  • How do I ensure even frosting on the cake?

    Start with a thin crumb coat to trap any loose crumbs. Chill it briefly, then add a thicker, smooth layer of frosting. Use a spatula for an even finish.
